Authorities believe PNC hold-up on Tuesday not related to Wed. incident NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(July 26, 2013) Investigators do not believe that the two robberies in two days, in West Ocean City on Tuesday and in Ocean City on Wednesday, are related.

Two suspects are in custody for allegedly trying to rob the PNC Bank on Route 50 near the intersection with Route 611 in West Ocean City on Tuesday morning. The search continued Wednesday for the suspect or suspects involved in Wednesday morning’s robbery of Susquehanna Bank at 94th Street.

Tuesday’s attempted robbery occurred shortly after 9 a.m., when a man entered the bank and demanded money. The teller did not hand over any cash and the man left. No injuries See REWARD on Page 3A

A police officer stands outside the 94th Street Susquehanna Bank following a robbery there Wednesday morning. No suspect had been apprehended as of press time Thursday afternoon.

Bad press looms over still-spotty season in resort OC takes smaller hit than Jersey; weather, arrests, hotel rates being looked at ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) As they say in the entertainment industry, no press is bad press.

Except when the press is about consecutive bank robberies, or near-stabbings of bar owners, or arresting a pregnant woman and allegedly causing her to require an emergency c-section.

With all that and more expected to hit the national news media this week, the question remains as to whether the city’s recent high-profile crimes will have anything to do with its so-far spotty tourism performance.

“I can certainly tell you that there’s a lot more news about negative things in Ocean City than I normally see, but it would be tough to say that it definitely affects tourism,” said Andy Malis, president of MGH, the city’s contracted advertising firm.

June data from the Smith Travel Report, which compiles booking data from franchise hotels, pegs the city’s room occupancy as down three percent from last year. But competitor re-

sorts are taking an even bigger hit, with Atlantic City showing a 20 percent drop, even when room availability lost to Hurricane Sandy is factored in.

“There’s a huge question here as to what’s really going on,” Malis said. “If the trend from June’s business holds for the whole summer, and you look at how worse Jersey is doing, then where’s everybody going?”

Reward being offered for man who robbed Ocean City bank were reported.

An earlier published description said the would-be robber wore a white shirt, a hat and had a beard.

When police released the suspect’s photo, it was obvious the man wore a green shirt, no hat and no beard. He had tattoos on both arms.

That early description also stated the man left on a trike with a box on its back, but he actually left in a vehicle. The man fitting the first description had been at the bank, but had no connection to the robbery. He was a customer.

Two men were arrested shortly after 10 p.m. in the Salisbury area after investigators developed leads and members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team and the Gang Enforcement Unit located them.

The press release from Maryland State Police stated that their associates were also taken into custody and search warrants were executed on a motel room in the Salisbury area and the vehicle used by the suspects.

The man who entered the bank was identified as Heath Derizzo, 36, of Harrisburg, Pa. After taking Derizzo into custody, police learned Continued from Page 1A

Pennsylvania State Police have an outstanding arrest warrant for him for armed robbery. Additional charges are pending in Pennsylvania.

Dale Mentzer, 35, of Newmanstown, Pa. was also arrested. Police learned that Pennsylvania State Police also have an outstanding arrest warrant for Mentzer for armed robbery. Additional charges are also pending against him in that state.

According to Maryland State Police, no other suspects are believed to have been involved in the attempted robbery of PNC Bank and the suspects are not believed to be part of a larger group. The investigation is continuing.

Wednesday morning at approximately 10 a.m. at Susquehanna Bank at 94th Street, a suspect described as a white man, thin and muscular, in his early to mid-20s, wearing a red polo shirt, khaki dress pants and a red baseball cap, approximately 6 feet tall, robbed Susquehanna Bank.

Pines woman gets 8-year sentence NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) A 27-year-old Ocean Pines woman was sentenced July 19 to eight years in prison for possession of heroin with the intent to distribute it.

All but six months of that sentence for (Redacted) was suspended and the judge in Circuit Court in Snow Hill author-ized work release up to five days per week. She had faced up to 20 years in prison.

In exchange for Griffith’s guilty plea on May 7, charges of possession of a large amount of heroin and importation of heroin were not prosecuted. After her release from prison, she will be on supervised probation for three years.

(Redacted) had been the passenger in a ve-hicle driven by Leck M. Lyons, 38, of Ocean Pines when police stopped him on Route 113 near Bishopville.

Lyons had been the subject of an investigation in-volving heroin distribution in the north-ern end of the county.

When police searched his vehicle, they found $2,020 in cash and 1,678 individually wrapped bags of heroin, with an approximate street value of $41,950. It was the largest seizure of heroin in Worcester County in recent history.

Lyons pleaded guilty March 5 to possession of a large amount of heroin. He was scheduled to be sentenced July 9, but that sentence was postponed until Aug. 12.

Alleged disorderly conduct leads to police misconduct allegations OCPD spokesperson says officers acted properly, did not harass group members NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Responding to allegations of police misconduct on the beach when they arrested people on Sunday, an Ocean City Police Department spokesperson said they acted properly and did not harass members of the group who were causing a disturbance.

“Our officers are trained to act in the highest manner of professionalism and we will look into any possible allegations that they did not meet our department’s standards,” Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay O’Neal said Thursday. “The group did act in a disorderly manner and acted aggressively toward our officers.”

Some members of that group captured part of the incident on cell phones and a Washington, D.C. television station showed a video, reporting that the group was considering legal action against the resort police.

Police arrested three men on the beach at North Division Street at about 2:40 p.m. Sunday after a man allegedly

Abdul Kargbo

Musa Seisay

caused a disturbance.

A member of the Ocean City Beach Patrol had asked for assistance because of a group of disorderly men. One of the men, he said, had threatened him.

When police tried to speak with Abdul Kargbo, 25, of Woodbridge, Va., Kargbo began cursing and yelling at the officers and tried to leave the scene, according to police. When police tried to arrest Kargbo, several others members of the disorderly group starting yelling at them and acting in a threatening manner.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered and additional officers responded to the scene. Two men, Musa Seisay, 24, of Garrisonville, Va., and Saidu Kargbo, 21, of Woodbridge, allegedly assaulted officers and resisted arrest.

Police charged each of the three men with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. In addition, Saidu Kargbo and

Musa Seisay were charged with second-degree assault and obstructing and hindering a police officer.

A nine-months pregnant woman, Delima Ekundayo Ibironke Palmer, 24, was also arSaidu Kargbo rested “because she assaulted our officers and resisted arrest, which caused our officers to take her into custody,” O’Neal said.

One of the videos played on television show the officers on the ground with the woman and people can be heard yelling, “She’s pregnant, she’s pregnant.”

During Palmer’s booking process at

police headquarters, she experienced labor pains and the booking process stopped. She was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where she had a caesarian section.

The woman was not mentioned in the police department’s press release about the incident because she had not been charged at the time it was written.

Police planned to charge her with assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and hindering.

O’Neal said police still intend to charge the woman and the investigation into the incident is continuing.

“We’re reviewing any and all videos we receive, but we have a lot of witness statements corroborating what the officers reported. At this time, we believe our officers acted appropriately,” O’Neal said.

Total police calls down, but weapons arrests rise Some public officials have asserted that the city’s image could be a factor in its inconsistent performance this summer season.

“There’s still this intimidation going on … people are emailing us and saying, ‘This is what I saw on 8th Street or 12th Street or on the Boardwalk in front of my hotel, and they’re not happy about it,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas at a recent council session.

“Some of these visitors [who contact the council] are really angry, and I think the community doesn’t necessarily see that and it makes it seem like we’re trying to make something that’s not there, but it is,” said Councilman Brent Ashley Ashley has come under fire from some of his colleagues recently for the amount of attention garnered by his proposed “saggy pants ordinance,” which would establish a public decency code for the Boardwalk to help combat what Ashley sees as a growing “thug” image to the venue.

But at the same time, the Ocean City Police Department reported earlier this month that its overall calls for service were down 6.3 percent for June, indicating that less police activity overall has been needed. But this

Continued from Page 1A

has done little to assuage public doubt, it seems.

“It seems to me that if the visitorship is down 10 percent, the calls should be down 10 percent,” Ashley said, citing the 5 to 10 percent average drops that have been seen so far this year in the resort’s room tax receipts and demoflush numbers, which estimate population based on wastewater flow.

“The calls or service are not necessarily indicative of the environment,” Ashley added. “This is what I’ve been saying – it’s the perception visitors have of us.”

Perception, it would seem, is less influenced by the OCPD’s hard data and more by the number of headlinegrabbing crimes in the resort, of which there have been many this year.

“A lot of the evidence is anecdotal,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “The police have said their numbers are down, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get a call from a hotelier when something happens right outside their place that they aren’t happy about.”

Comparative arrest data for this year is difficult to read given that it has been somewhat lowered by new state laws. Maryland is now allowing certain

minor criminal offenses to be dealt with via citation, instead of a full arrest and arraignment.

Many of the offenses affected are drug-related – a category of arrests that made up the bulk of the OCPD’s work last June. The Ocean City Police Department made 505 drug arrests in June 2012, according to its year-end report, almost as many as in July and August combined. That number has plummeted for this year to 236.

But what does appear to be on the rise are weapons arrests, which the OCPD’s latest data show totaled 65 for June 2013, more than double the 32 reported in June 2012. This would, ostensibly, support the theory pushed by Ashley and some others that what crime remains in the resort is of a more severe and onerous variety than the minor drug infractions that have padded numbers in the past.

Whether or not crime is a factor, the consensus among business owners seems to be that success is more temporal this year than last, with visitors no longer committing to longer stays or coming in spite of the weather.

“We used to have people who would book four or five nights [in advance],” said Joe Jobson, a motel and condominium owner who spoke at last week’s City Council meeting. “That

doesn’t happen anymore. Even on the Fourth of July, it took us until midnight to fill up.”

As of May, Smith Travel showed the resort’s average revenue per available room – occupied or not – on weekends as down 1.2 percent year-to-date as opposed to 2012. For weekdays, this drop jumped to 8.9 percent.

“June was rough,” said another prominent local business owner.

“When the weather was good, we were up, but when it was bad, we were really, really down. It’s going to take a lot to recover.”

“It’s been a wacky season,” Jones said. “The wet weather in the spring will probably impact the bottom line unless we see some big upsurge soon.”

The Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce has sent out a survey asking members how their businesses has been affected, and by what, so far this year.

“You hear anecdotally that business is off because of the weather, or because of this or because of that,” said Chamber Executive Director Melanie Pursel. “I put together a survey that was a sort of season status. I actually listed every major event that we’ve had up through the Fourth of July and asked our members to gauge how it impacted them.”

Trio finishes coast-to-coast run for Sarcoma research in resort CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Three runners raising money for sarcoma cancer research ended a 3,187-mile, coast-to-coast journey in Ocean City last Saturday.

The team raised close to its goal of $100,000 during its 157-day trip across the United States. “The final day was beyond anything we could ever imagine,� Miles 2 Give founder and runner Landon Cooper said. Family, friends, cancer survivors and other supporters from across the country joined Cooper and fellow Miles 2 Give runners Ryan Priest and John McKay for the last leg of their trip as they crossed the Route 50 bridge, traveled under the Boardwalk arch and headed toward the Atlantic Ocean.

After celebrating with a dip in the ocean, the trio received a key to the city from Ocean City Council Secretary Mary Knight. “It was so touching that it literally took my breath away,� said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the city.

She said it was “truly an honor� for Ocean City to be the end-point for the tour.

Cooper began planning the tour last November and he, Priest and McKay of-

ficially started the run Feb. 14 from Ocean Beach, San Francisco. He wanted to end the trip near Washington, D.C. in July, Sarcoma Awareness Month. But after looking at maps, he said making an Ocean Beach-to-Ocean City run was a “nobrainer.�

Each day, the Miles 2 Give team traveled around 28 miles, dedicating their run to a different survivor or victim of sarcoma cancer by writing his or her name on their faces and the ceiling of the RV. The three runners alternated tasks, with one running, one driving and one resting.

They gathered steam as they headed east, adding a PR and media coordinator, online director and other team members to produce a slew of social media updates to raise awareness of “the forgotten cancer,� Cooper said.

Developing a photography book of their RV, Life Elevated, is just one of Cooper’s post-run projects. He also plans to produce a documentary of the 2013 tour and sell paintings through the Miles 2 Give Web site, which will continue to raise funds for the foundation.

He has several appearances planned to promote cancer awareness before settling in Santa Rosa, Fla. “We have to keep the inspiration See TEAM on Page 8A

Team raises about $100k for research going,” he said.

Priest plans to finish his final semester at the University of Northern Arizona and McKay plans to teach now that their run is over.

“The three runners were full of enthusiasm and gratitude” Saturday, said Melanie Pursel, executive director of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. “That they chose Ocean City, Maryland to end their journey was an absolute honor.”

Cooper said he has many takeaways from the trip, but the most important boiled down to the word “choice.”

“We all have choices of how we face things,” he said, “and the perspective that the boys and I have gained has certainly redefined how beautiful that moment is when we’re faced with a choice.”

He already has plans in the works for a 2014 Miles 2 Give run in another country, with many full- and part-time positions to become available on the team.

Worcester County Public Schools poised for higher expectations Strong performance on MSA affirms readiness for more rigorous standards (July 26, 2013) The Maryland State Department of Education’s July 23 release of 2013 Maryland School Assessment (MSA) results for Worcester County Public Schools affirms that the school system is ready to tackle the higher expectations associated with the Common Core State Standards and Maryland’s third wave of education reform.

The 2013 MSA scores indicate that 94 percent of Worcester County Public School students in testing grades 3 through 8 scored “proficient” or “advanced” in both reading and mathematics. Fifty-six percent of students scored advanced in reading, while 54 percent scored advanced in mathematics. Preliminary results also indicate that all schools in the Worcester County Public School System met their Annual Measurable Objectives, accountability standards that replaced Adequate Yearly Progress.

When compared with the state, Worcester County Public Schools exceeded performance averages on the 2013 MSA. At the elementary school level,

grades 3-5, 95.3 percent of elementary students in Worcester schools scored proficient or advanced in reading on the 2013 MSA, while the state average in reading at the elementary level was 86.4 percent. In mathematics, Worcester students scored 94.4 percent, while the state average at the elementary school level was 83.9 percent.

The results were equally impressive at the middle school level, grades 6-8.

For example, 93.6 percent of middle school students in Worcester schools scored proficient or advanced in reading on the 2013 MSA, while the state average in reading at the middle school level was 83.4 percent.

In mathematics, Worcester students scored 92.3 percent, while the state average at the middle school level

was 72.2 percent.

Over the last decade, progress on the MSA has also been significant for Worcester County test-takers.

At the elementary level, the percent of students scoring proficient and advanced rose by 17.4 percentage points in reading, from 77.9 percent in 2004 to 95.3 percent in 2013.

In mathematics, the percent rose by 14.3 percentage points, from 80.1 percent to 94.4 percent over the same time period.

“Our student performance, as measured by the 2013 MSA and a host of other indicators, demonstrates that we are ready to advance our students to the ‘next level,’ preparing them for college and career and to compete globally,” said Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson.

“We believe that the time is right to increase rigor in our educational programs. No one ever reached higher levels of achievement without increased expectations,” Wilson said.

The Common Core standards and curricula will be fully implemented in the 2013-2014 school year.

Tall ship visit close to done deal; event set Aug. 20 to Sept. 2 ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) With event coordinators planning an on-site visit for next week, plans to bring a 17th century high-seas vessel to berth in the resort in less than a month are being finalized.

“Their logistics officer is coming Monday, and after that it’ll be a go,” said Steve Webster of the National Air, Sea, and Space Foundation. “All they’ve seen right now is from Google Maps and the Coast Guard, so they just want to see the site itself and make sure it’ll work.”

The 170-foot-long vessel will be moored on along the bayside boardwalk on Chicago Avenue from Third to Fourth Streets. City Engineer Terry

McGean said last week that it will cost the town roughly $3,000 to install concrete anchors beneath the boards for the ship to be tied down.

“They’re asking for four footers now, with larger cleats,” city Special Events Director Frank Miller said. “Basically, we’ve got a week to figure it out and get the parts ordered.”

The ship will be arriving in the resort on Aug. 20 or 21, after leaving New York on Aug. 18. It will stay through Sept. 2.

The northern, one-way portion of Chicago Avenue and the attached parking spaces will be used for vendors, exhibits and staging tours of the ship itself.

The potential event was brought to the city by promoter Bryan Lilley, whose

company B. Lilley Productions puts on the annual OC Air Show. Lilley is also active with the non-profit NASSF, which funds educational and historical events, including the tall ship event at the “Viva Florida 500” celebration this year commemorating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Florida by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon.

The featured ship at the Florida event in May was from the Nao Victoria Foundation, a non-profit group based in Spain that primarily deals with historical events relating to the 16th century age of Spanish exploration. Known simply as “El Galeon,” the six-deck vessel replicates those that were sailed at the time and is essentially a floating museum.

However, the major question for the city is where to put a ship of that size.

The city owns a pier at Sunset Park downtown, but it is not long enough, and part of the adjacent Coast Guard pier would have to be utilized. Due to federal red tape, the location was moved to Chicago Avenue.

Officials are also confident that the ship will physically fit the resort, given that it will have to pass through the drawbridge on Route 50 and navigate the bay channel, were there are several sandbars.

These appear to be at a 20-foot or greater depth, according to McGean, while the ship has a draft of 10 or 11 feet.

“Hopefully we’ll know a lot more after the site visit,” Miller said.

Reasons for dive team concern still unclear after July 1 crash ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Questions and oblique criticism still abound, through multiple media, around the decision by the Ocean City Fire Department to not send its dive team to assist in the recovery operation for the ocean plane crash earlier this month.

But as far as the city is concerned, the issue is officially at rest.

“The after-action meeting was held and concluded,” City Manager David Recor said. “There is no further inquiry, as far as I’m concerned.”

City documents, obtained by this newspaper, provide a detailed rundown of the events and the judgment surrounding them.

However, how this information is being publicized internally is still up in the air.

“I know discussions were had, but we have not been advised of the result of those discussions,” Council Secretary Mary Knight said.

The issue centers on the July 1 crash of an aircraft, owned and piloted by Ocean City Police Department officer Tom Geoghegan, a short distance off the beach in North Ocean City.

The wreck claimed Geoghegan’s life, as well as the life of his passenger and fellow OCPD officer Josh Adickes.

In the initial response, the OCFD derstands the reason for the cancellastationed a paramedic crew with a diver tion on July 01, 2013,” the memo conat 130th Street.

Larmore’s reathe plane was unsoning for not known and no City Manager David Recor committing the survivors or evidence of them was Concerning questions surrounding plane crash recovery team is further exoperation earlier this month plained in the apparent. minutes of a staff Jurisdiction meeting from July was assumed by 11, which was the Maryland State Police. According to an internal widely circulated amongst city staff.

“The Fire Department never called OCFD memo, written by senior members of the dive team, the MSP sergeant off a rescue operation,” Larmore is in charge initially said he could use up to four members of the OCFD’s dive team to assist the operation.

As the team was being assembled, however, a call from OCFD Chief Chris Larmore advised that the team was not needed. The plane had been down for over an hour. “[MSP] Sgt. Williams advised Chief Larmore there were sufficient divers from the MSP dive team, and the OCFD dive team was no longer needed for the operation,” the memo reads.

“The dive team administration un-

quoted as saying therein. “My message to Chief Barton was that if we were needed, be cautious about taking additional paramedic units out of service, as we were down from six to four units already on a busy Sunday with high rip currents.”

The OCFD was down one unit due to a sick paramedic whose shift could not be filled, and another unit that was transporting a patient to the hospital.

“Sgt. Williams of the MD State Police dive team said he did not need our personnel,” the minutes read. “[The] town dive team is rescue based; equipment is rescue based. MD state team is recovery based, which is longer and more methodical in nature, but at no time would we ever deny assistance to our police or any outside organization if we are needed in any capacity.”

County schedules hearings on proposed new district boundaries Meetings set next week at SDMS, Pocomoke HS, government center in SH NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Public hearings for Worcester County residents to comment on the proposed redistricting maps will take place next week.

Each of the public hearings will be at 7 p.m. The first hearing will be Tuesday, July 30, at the Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill, the second will be Wednesday, July 31, at Pocomoke High School and the third will be Thursday, Aug. 1, at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin.

The proposed redistricting maps for Worcester County Commissioner Districts were drafted in response to changes in the county’s population as reflected in the 2010 Census, which revealed that the total population grew by 5,005 year-round residents, or 10.8 percent, from 46,543 in 2000 to 51,548 in 2010.

County staff followed the present districts as closely as possible while taking certain criteria into consideration.

Those criteria were the Census 2010 population figures, having districts of

nearly equal population with an ideal population of 7,364 to support the “one man, one vote” concept, retaining a majority minority district and respecting the boundaries of the new state legislative Districts 38A and 38C as much as possible.

Two districts are proposed to remain the same.

They are District Five, the Ocean Pines District represented by Commissioner Judy Boggs, and District Seven, the Ocean City District represented by Commissioner Louise Gulyas.

Changes are proposed for each of the other districts.

The boundary of the majority minority district, the Central District represented by James Purnell, is proposed to extend into Pocomoke City.

That district has seen little change in its population, which only grew by 570 residents, or 6.5 percent.

District One, the Southern District represented by Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw, is proposed to include areas east of the Pocomoke River, which are now included in the Western District, District Four, represented by Commissioner Virgil Shockley.

That district is proposed to extend to the railroad in Berlin.

Only a small change is proposed for the Snow Hill area.

now in that area becoming part of the Central District.

The Sinepuxent District, District Three, represented by Commissioner Bud Church, will no longer cover all of Berlin or extend into areas north of Route 50 and west of Herring Creek because its population has grown the most.

Although it is proposed to lose those areas, it would include areas new to it on both sides of Assateague Road, which are now in the Central District.

The Northern District, District Six, represented by Commissioner Madison Bunting, would no longer include areas on the east side of Route 113 just north of Berlin and just south of the Delaware state line, which would be in the Western District.

Copies of the proposed redistricting maps and enlargements of each proposed district showing the changes from the current district boundaries to the proposed district boundaries may be seen in the main lobby on the first floor of the Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

They are also available for viewing on the second floor hallway in front of the Department of Development Review and Permitting during those same hours and days.

That office also has free copies of the

maps on compact discs for interested residents.

Free compact discs of the maps are also available at the county libraries.

Written comments may be sent to the Worcester County Commissioners, Room 1103 – Worcester County Government Center, One West Market St., Snow Hill, Md. 21863.

During the week of Aug. 6, the commissioners will review the public comments and amend the draft maps, if necessary.

On Aug. 20, they will introduce a legislative bill to formally adopt the redistricting map.

The public hearing on the bill and the adoption of the new districts is scheduled for Sept. 17.

POLICE BRIEFS

Deadly weapon Two Glen Burnie men were charged July 15 with possession of a concealed deadly weapon after one of them told a police officer a switchblade and a baton were in the vehicle.

The Ocean City police officer on Bike Patrol had stopped a vehicle on Ninth Street driven by Dennis Justin McCarthy, 31, because McCarthy was not wearing a seatbelt.

After giving McCarthy a written

warning, the police officer told him he was free to leave. Then he asked if he could search the vehicle. Instead of leaving, McCarthy consented to the search and said a baton and a switchblade were inside.

McCarthy said someone gave him the baton, which was in the driver side door, for protection while he was in Ocean City. The passenger, Michael Ray McGuire, 23, said he had been given a switchblade, which was in the passenger door panel. He said the

knife had been in his pocket and must have fallen out and into the door panel.

McCarthy was also charged with possession of a martial arts weapon within the town limits of Ocean City.

Alleged bike theft

Police were called to an upscale hotel on Baltimore Avenue and told that an employee had taken the bicycle of another employee.

The bicycle was in the hotel’s parking lot and a surveillance camera showed the student stepping outside the hotel, returning inside and then outside again. The video then showed him getting on the bike and riding off.

The student was taken before a District Court commissioner, who found no probable cause for the charge.

Alleged attempt to ram police vehicle with stolen car (July 26, 2013) A 40-year-old Berlin man was arrested July 19 after he allegedly attempted to ram a police vehicle with a vehicle stolen from Barrett Chevrolet.

The incident began when an officer with the Berlin Police Department conducted a traffic stop on Worcester Highway. During the course of that stop, the driver, Stefphon Bowen, sped away in the vehicle, which was later found to be stolen from Barrett’s.

A vehicle chase ensured and during the chase, Bowen allegedly tried to ram a police vehicle. Officers pursued Bowen to the area of Worcester Highway and Carey Road, where the stolen vehicle ran off the road and ended in a wooded area.

This also resulted in a collision of two Berlin Police Department vehicles.

Bowen ran into a wooded area, but was caught by Berlin police officers, who deployed a Taser to subdue him and to take him into custody. Two Berlin officers suffered minor injuries as a result of the incident. Both were taken to Atlantic General Hospital where they were treated and released.

Bowen was also treated at the hospital and released. He was charged with motor vehicle theft, first- and second-degree assault on a police officer, possesSee DRIVER on Page 15A

(July 26, 2013) An Ocean City man who allegedly used an old master key to enter two rooms at a motel where he had worked as a maintenance man a few years ago was charged with first-degree burglary and other offenses last week.

The motel’s general manager detained the suspect, Brian Scott Frye, 48, in a nearby grocery.

Frye admitted to police that he had been in the units, but he was in them because he was looking for a friend. He thought she was staying in one of those units, he said.

While one police officer remained with the suspect, two others went to talk to the complainants. The manager had told them that Frye had worked in maintenance at the motel and would have had a master key to allow him access to all of the guest rooms.

In the first room, two young women told police they were in the motel room when they heard a man knocking at the door. Because they did not know him, they did not open the door. Then, the man used a gold key to gain entry to their room.

When he opened the door, the women asked what he was doing. He told them he was looking for his friend and then he shut the door and left. He had not entered the room.

Frye then reportedly walked to the next unit, which was occupied by a married couple who were in the bathroom.

They heard someone in the room and the man went to investigate.

According to the charging document, Frye was going through the woman’s purse, which contained a debit card and approximately $1,000 in cash. Frye did not steal anything in the purse, but police believe he intended to commit theft.

The man told Frye to leave and asked why he was in the room. Frye allegedly said he thought the purse belonged to his friend and he thought she was staying in that room.

Employees at the motel’s front desk told police that no one with the name of Frye’s alleged friend was staying there.

Police returned to the grocery where Frye was detained and verified that his clothing matched the description given by the victims.

Rejected suitor tries a number of times to get girlfriend back Ocean City man arrested for allegedly assaulting, stalking and harassing her NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 29, 2013) An Ocean City man, unable to take being rejected by his girlfriend, was arrested again last week after allegedly stalking, harassing and assaulting her.

The woman had told Robert Edward Johnson, 31, repeatedly that he was no longer allowed in her downtown residence and to leave her alone.

On July 16, police were called to the residence because he was allegedly stalking her. The officer saw Johnson

walking nearby and saw Johnson’s bicycle parked about 3 feet from the woman’s front door. Johnson said he parked it there so no one would steal it.

Inside the bicycle’s basket was a silver multi-tool taken from the woman’s apartment.

When the officer entered the unit with the woman, she said items had been moved throughout it, her purse was in a different place and a cabinet door was open.

Two liquor bottles, each which had had approximately 4 inches of alcohol in them, were empty and a shot glass was next to them.

The woman related that Johnson had been arrested July 3 after throwing an object at her and pulling her hair. She had been mad at him because he had not gone to work.

He did not heed the warning because when the woman woke up in her bed July 14, he was lying in bed with her. When she told him to leave, he reportedly went to the kitchen, grabbed a butcher’s knife and started cutting up shirts in the woman’s closet.

After he left, the woman noticed her bedroom window was broken and had blood smears on it. She believed Johnson broke the window, unlatched it and climbed into her bedroom and then into her bed.

The next day, she opened the door and saw Johnson, who pushed past her, went to the kitchen, grabbed a butcher’s knife and slit his arm. He then stabbed the knife into a table. He refused to leave.

Instead, he sat in her recliner and fell asleep. The woman cleaned up the blood and went to work.

When she returned home later that day, he was gone but some of his belongings, including shoes, a skateboard and a book bag, were in the unit.

She also noticed that he had eaten tuna from a few cans and had written on her recliner with a permanent

marker. The words, “This is my chair” and “you were me” were written in large lettering across the armrest of the chair.

Fearing for her safety, the woman left. When she returned, Johnson was outside her unit with his bicycle. She noticed that the door she had locked when she left was unlocked. She left again and spent the night out of town.

The following day, she returned home and again, Johnson was standing in front of her door.

A resident told police that Johnson knocked on the woman’s door every night.

Police charged Johnson with first-, third- and fourth-degree burglary, stalking, harassment, theft and assault committed July 17.

For crimes committed July 14, police charged him with third- and fourth-degree burglary, reckless endangerment, harassment, trespassing and malicious destruction of property.

For crime committed July 15, police charged Johnson with reckless endangerment, malicious destruction of property, harassment and trespassing.

Johnson had been charged April 26 with assault after allegedly trying to strangle the woman.

One of the conditions on his release from jail was to have no contact with the woman and not to return to her unit.

Connecticut couple charged after altercation outside bar Man pulls out knife, but bouncer at 33rd Street nightspot kicks it away NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) A 22-year-old man and his 24-year-old girlfriend, both from Connecticut, were arrested early Monday morning after causing trouble at a 33rd Street nightspot.

When an Ocean City police officer responded to a call about an assault, he saw two men holding down the suspect, later identified as Justin J. Parlow of Denby.

One of the men pointed toward a bush and said a knife was there.

The bar owner told police that Parlow was in an altercation with people outside the bar. When he went to break it up, Parlow allegedly “bear-hugged” him and tackled him. He then pulled out a folding knife, opened it and pushed it toward the bar owner’s thigh. He felt it touching him and thought Parlow was going to stab him. Several people, including a bouncer, jumped on Parlow to try to wrestle the knife away out of his hand. The bouncer kicked the knife out of Parlow’s hand and threw it in

a nearby bush. He told police he feared for his own life and the owner’s life.

The altercation outside had begun after Parlow’s girlfriend, Natalia Illas of Seymour, was told the leave the bar. Illas, who was reportedly extremely intoxicated, allegedly said she had a gun permit and was going to shoot all the police. Illas left the bar and as she was walking down the street, she went up to a man walking past her and pushed him.

Parlow then intervened and the scuffle started. He was charged with first- and second-degree assault and openly carrying a dangerous weapon with the intent to injure. Illas was charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault.

Ecologists attribute cool spring with decline in bird population around area CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) The same cold and rainy weather that kept beachgoers from Ocean City this spring also trimmed back numbers of a favorite bird in the area.

There are fewer pelicans in Maryland this year than last, but the change is no cause for concern, said Central Region Ecologist Dave Brinker of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Wildlife & Heritage Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing fewer (pelicans), but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything wrong,â&#x20AC;?

Brinker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nature.â&#x20AC;?

Brown pelicans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to be confused with their West Coast counterpart, the American White Pelican â&#x20AC;&#x201D; migrate to this area from their wintering grounds to the south and usually begin laying eggs between late March and early April, Brinker said. But cool waters kept fish deeper this spring, delaying readiness of a food source pelicans need to put on weight for egg laying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It absolutely has been an unusual spring this year,â&#x20AC;? said Bryan Watts, director for the Center for Conservation Biology in Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most of our other water birds, it has been a really late season.â&#x20AC;?

Maryland boasts the East Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern-most pelican colonies, making it a capricious summer home for the birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at this end-of-range scenario, the numbers vary from year to year a lot,â&#x20AC;? Brinker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we have mild winters, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably see more breeders and therefore more wandering birds. And if you have a cold winter, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see fewer.â&#x20AC;?

The same holds true for a cold spring, he said. The failure of a fairly new pelican colony on the Chincoteague Bay also ex-

plains why beachgoers are seeing fewer of the birds flying the skies over Ocean City.

None of the 125 pairs of pelicans who nested there last year raised chicks, probably because of predators, Brinker said.

The collapse of the colony means there are no pelican colonies in the coastal bay system this year, he said. That leaves two pelican colonies in Maryland, on Holland Island and Adam Island in the mid-Chesapeake Bay. Though the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Natural Resources hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compiled the numbers yet, Brinker said there are fewer pelicans than last year in the colonies after running counts last Friday.

The situation is different on Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Shore, however, where pelican numbers are up overall, Watts said.

All four Virginia colonies are on barrier islands, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no coincidence.

Pelicans have a long breeding season, from about March to August, and need predatorfree nesting grounds, Watts said. They also need a steady source of food.

With an abundance of fish, especially tiny, oily menhaden, in the bay, the Chesapeake is a great feeding ground for pelicans. The birds can travel hundreds of miles searching for food, which they carry under their bills in a gular pouch that can hold almost three pounds of seawater and fish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about triple what they can fit in their stomachs.

Despite its fare of menhaden and minnows, though, the Chesapeake wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home to pelicans until about two decades ago. The first on record in the coastal bays came in 1987, as populations in the U.S. Southeast began rebounding after the 1972 ban of the egg-damaging pesticide DDT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They started to respond rather dramatically,â&#x20AC;? Brinker said â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were at carrying capacity in the southeast statesâ&#x20AC;Ś so young birds were looking for a place to settle.â&#x20AC;?

The first pelicans pushed north to Maryland and Virginia in 1991, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been breeding there every since,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Skimmer Island and fishing wharf among places to view birds As many as 2,500 pairs have stopped in the Chesapeake Bay area in the summer, but Brinker predicts this year’s tally “won’t be anywhere near that.”

With an average or warm spring next year, however, he predicted “those numbers are going to bounce back.”

“Pelicans are doing well. They’ve recovered from all the things that kept them down for many years before,” he said.

The best place to see pelicans in Ocean City is on Skimmer Island, by the Route 50 bridge, or at the fishing wharf on Second Street, Brinker said. Or, keep an eye on the sky— pelicans should be out in greater force later this season.

Pelicans line up at Assateague seashore. The cool spring trimmed back their numbers in Maryland this year, but warm or average weather next year should drive numbers back up, ecologist Dave Brinker said.

Skye Bar on 66th St. to get noise-reducing panels Entertainment restrictions for rooftop remain in place, no music after 8:30 p.m.

NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) The owners of the Skye Bar atop Galaxy 66 Bar and Grille will install noise-reducing panels, but they still may not have any entertainment past 8:30 p.m.

Roger Cebula and his wife, Tammy Patrick-Cebula, did not ask for an extension of the entertainment hours during the July 17 meeting of the Board of License Commissioners, but they could seek that extension later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our approval of this gives you no promise of anything else,â&#x20AC;? Board Chairman William E. Esham Jr. told the Cebulas.

The enlarged Skye Bar, which opened in 2012, had entertainment late at night until May 15 when the Board of License Commissioners fined them $1,000 for each of five documented noise violations, withdrew approval for a deejay and restricted entertainment to no later than 8:30 p.m.

The noise from music and loud patrons had drawn complaints from nearby property owners who said they were kept awake at night and their quality of life was greatly See CEBULA on Page 25A

Cebula hopes to have improved glass panels installed in two weeks diminished. Representing 36 nearby property owners and four year-round tenants, attorney John Robins, a 65th Street resident, said, “The music and noise attract revelers screaming from the rooftop.”

Before the enlarged Skye Bar opened last year, the Board of License Commissioners had granted permission to the owners to have outside entertainment, including a deejay, but what the Cebulas planned and what the board was expecting were not the same. Esham said he did not realize it was going to be a nightclub.

The owners returned to the Board of License Commissioners on June 19 to ask for the noise-reducing panels, but the change from the existing panels was greater than Esham had anticipated and he refused to hear the request until the original complainants had been notified of that request.

During the June 19 meeting, Mark Cropper, the Cebulas’ attorney said they had lost their dinner crowd at 8:30 p.m., the time mandated by the board that all entertainment must cease. Cropper added that they were not seeking any

change in the hours or types of entertainment, but only to alter the premises with the noise-reducing glass panels.

During the board’s July 17 meeting, Cropper said the different glass enclosures would be a substantial benefit to area residents because they would reduce or eliminate noise.

Robins, again representing those area residents and property owners, said, “This issue before the board today cannot be objectionable.”

He continued, however, to voice concerns that he and his clients expect the Ce-

Another concern is that the glass panels will not enclose the entire Skye Bar. Some seats would remain in the open, he said.

Esham was thinking along the same lines as Robins.

Police say Kriss fled Illinois, came at Del. driver with machete Suspect threatened SR1 motorist after fleeing scene of Rehoboth crash ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Police confirmed this week that the man who fled police in Rehoboth Beach, Del., last week and ended up crashing his vehicle and fighting with officers in Ocean City had indeed threatened motorists with a machete and had fled from his home in Frankfort, Ill., violating his parole for a previous robbery charge.

Brion Kriss noticed that another motorist was observing him driving erratically around 10:15 a.m. last

Wednesday, according to Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.

Kriss allegedly pulled up beside the vehicle waving a machete and asked the driver if he would like himself, Kriss, to get out of the car.

Kriss was fleeing a traffic accident in a Rehoboth-area mall parking lot that occurred around 9:45 a.m., apparently concerned responding officers would discover he had violated his parole terms.

He has since garnered national media attention for the “getaway triathlon” he performed after consecutively running, biking and swimming away from officers.

As reported last week, Kriss was able to flee south on SR1 before being spotted by alerted officers near the border of South Bethany and Fenwick Island, Del.

alerted by Delaware police, closing in, Kriss jumped into the bay off 112th Street. According to witnesses, he began scrambling through the marshy area bordered by Jamestown Road to the north and Channel Buoy Road to the south.

Although surrounded, Kriss proved extremely difficult to apprehend. He evaded officers, as well as a police dog, despite having multiple Electronic Control Devices used on him. Eventually, a less-than-lethal projectile launcher that fires high-velocity rubber missiles was used to bring Kriss down to where he could be restrained.

When fleeing, however, Kriss did not take the machete with him. It was recovered in his vehicle, according to police.

A toxicology report has yet to come in, Lindsay O’Neal of the OCPD said this week. However, Kriss has already been charged with numerous offenses related to intoxicated driving and officers widely believe he was under the influence of a substance that allowed him to resist pain and physical disability.

Kriss was also charged late last week with resisting arrest, assault, weapons possession and inflicting bodily harm on a law enforcement animal, a charge resulting from him apparently actively fighting off the K-9 unit used against him in the marsh. The dog’s injuries were not severe, police said.

Two police cars, one from the South Bethany Police Department, and another from the Fenwick Island Police Department, followed him, eventually entering Ocean City.

Kriss tried to evade police by turning into the ocean block at 134th Street and then entering Coastal Highway at 133rd Street going north. When spotted, however, he made an abrupt U-turn – striking another vehicle – and headed south again.

While attempting to escape from stopped traffic around 118th Street at approximately 10:35 a.m., Kriss sideswiped a black Jeep, running it off the road and onto the front lawn of Supremo Cheesesteaks, witnesses said. The driver of the Jeep was taken away from the scene by Ocean City EMS with non-life-threatening injuries.

Kriss was able to keep driving down Coastal Highway for roughly two blocks until rear-ending another SUV and swerving his own vehicle head-on into the sign pole for the Oyster Bay Shopping Center in front of the Greene Turtle.

Kriss immediately got out of the vehicle and ran down Jamestown Road, with the two Delaware officers giving chase, employees said. He eventually stole a bicycle, according to the OCPD, and headed south in the area behind the Gold Coast Mall.

On June 1, the U.S. Army promoted Purnell to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Considering Lt. Col. Purnell entered the U.S. Army at the lowest enlisted rank shortly after graduating from Stephen Decatur High School in 1988, his promotion was a great accomplishment. Purnell served as an enlisted man for nine years and two months before completing Officer Candidate School and entering the commissioned officer ranks. Since 1997, Pur-

nell has been promoted four times and has earned Bachelor and Master’s degrees.

Purnell’s assignments have included Fort Bragg, N.C., Fort Jackson, S.C., Fort Benning, Ga., Fort Gordon, Ga., Fort Meade, Md., Fort McPherson, Ga., the Pentagon, The Republic of Korea and combat deployments to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Purnell is on special assignment in Tennessee, but he and his family (wife Tibu Purnell and daughters Christiana and Chloé) will relocate to Fort Bragg, N.C. for his next tour of duty.

Crabcake Factory Express approved to add beer, wine to menu Owner says restaurant losing business to venues with alcohol privileges NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) An Ocean City eatery, denied an alcoholic beverage license in 2012, was successful last week.

The Board of License Commissioners granted the request of Crabcake Factory Express owner Krista Brooks for a beer and wine license at the 25th Street restaurant.

That restaurant is the second Crabcake Factory. The first is Crabcake Factory USA, which John Brooks, her husband, opened in 1996 on 120th

Street.

In 2011, John Brooks bought the front commercial part of the Mahalo condominium, planning to eventually have a Crabcake Factory franchise there. His longtime employee, Brandon Mohr, would run it.

Mohr ran into difficulties with the Board of License Commissioners in July 2012, when he obtained signatures on the application for a beer, wine and liquor license, which is the task of the resident agent, and in September 2012, when he told the board he had virtually no funds to run the business or to purchase supplies and food. He also failed to convince the board of the public need for such a license.

Instead of running the 70-seat restaurant with an upstairs bar like he had planned, Mohr changed course and

had a business that was mostly for carryout. The business was not successful, Mohr found employment elsewhere and Crabcake Factory Express is now owned by Krista Brooks, with John Brooks as its manager.

Krista Brooks said she wanted to be able to sell beer and wine because she was losing patrons to other restaurants in the area that did offer alcohol beverages. She was losing such business on a daily basis, she said.

Brooks did not ask for a license to sell liquor and she did not want entertainment privileges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a restaurant, a family place,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Crabcake Factory Express is open 8 a.m. to midnight and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hours will be shortened in the off-season.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

As of today, Friday, Cakecake Factory Express will no longer have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;NO ALCOHOL HEREâ&#x20AC;? sign above its door at 25th Street. The business was approved last week to sell beer and wine as customers had requested.

Worcester students earn top awards in SkillsUSA contest Students showcase career and technical abilities in nationwide competition CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Three Worcester County students took home medals from the 49th annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City, Kan., June 24-28.

The competition tests students on career and technical skills, from nursing and first aid to plumbing, engineering and major appliance repair.

Danny Beck, a rising senior at Worcester Technical High School, won a gold medal for the second consecutive year in the principles of engineering technology category.

Wyatt Brady, also a rising senior at Worcester Tech, earned a bronze medal in major appliance and refrigeration technology.

Jack Russo, who graduated from Worcester Tech this past spring, landed a bronze medal in HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only the top in Maryland go,â&#x20AC;? said Rich Stephens, a Welding Instructor at the high school and SkillsUSA advisor.

The national competition brings together Career and Technology Education (CTE) high school students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands to showcase their skills. Students qualified at the local, regional and state levels before advancing to the national competition.

In all, 18 Worcester County students traveled to Kansas to compete this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you want to pay attention in See COUNTY on Page 28A

County technical high school sends 18 to final event in Kansas class a lot more,” Brady said of the SkillsUSA program. His major appliance repair competition involved around 10 stations where he worked with washers, dryers, gas ranges, refrigerators and other appliances, as well as tests in customer service and safety.

Brady had been working at Whaley Brothers Appliance in Berlin for three weeks before attending the national contest.

“It really gets them involved in their trades… (and) the leadership skills that go with it,” Stephens said. The CTE program “really turned around” Russo as a student, he said.

Russo’s HVAC competition included bronze soldering, calculating airflow, checking geothermal performance, troubleshooting gas furnaces and troubleshooting a refrigeration display case, as well as a written test.

He works at Royal Plus as an entry AC apprentice and said the company was “a big supporter,” paying most of his way to attend the SkillsUSA conference.

Beck, who wants to be an engineer and is interning at NASA this summer, said the SkillsUSA program has boosted his public speaking and writing skills.

“I’m definitely more confident presenting,” he said.

He had to deliver a 15-minute presentation on the physics of fiber optics to a three-judge panel and write a technical report on the topic to earn first place in his category.

“The technical essay part was definitely the most difficult,” Beck said. “A lot of the physics and math classes definitely helped with being able to put in terms the physics behind the technology because I watched my teachers do that.”

SkillsUSA Maryland has a membership of 5,000 high school students who participate in conferences throughout the year, including two statewide conferences aimed to prepare students for the national competition.

In all, Maryland students took home 24 medals from 84 career and technical categories in the 2013 SkillsUSA national competition.

Diakonia in West OC recipient of new grant to assist veterans Transitional housing, food services and counseling among what org. provides NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Diakonia is one of the recipients of a new federal grant to prevent homelessness for veterans and their families.

“It’s new and exciting,” said Claudia Nagle, executive director of the West Ocean City organization providing emergency and transitional housing, emergency food services, counseling and other assistance for the needy. “It’s nice to bring money to folks who have served us so well. Diakonia means ‘in service to others’ so it’s a nice connection.”

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced July 11 the award of $5.18 million in the homeless prevention grants to 17 Maryland counties and Baltimore City. The grants are expected to serve more than 1,750 veteran families as part of the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program. Under that program, Veterans Affairs awarded grants to private non-profit organizations, such as Diakonia, and consumer cooperatives that provide services to very low income veteran families living

in, or transitioning to, permanent housing.

Diakonia and other community organizations receiving the grants will provide a range of services to promote housing stability and will connect veterans and their families to Veterans Affairs services such as mental health care and other benefits.

Not all veterans will quality for this assistance.

“There has to be certain criteria met,” Nagle said Tuesday. “There must be sustainability. If a veteran and his family are going through a rough patch, we could help.”

Although the recipients of the grants were announced earlier this month, the grants will not actually be awarded until Oct. 1.

Although the grant is a new resource

for Diakonia, it is similar to homeless prevention grants awarded from federal stimulus funds and funds from Emergency Solutions, a federal grant that passes through the state Department of Housing and Community Development.

This new income-based grant “really expands our ability to serve veterans and their families at risk of losing their housing or who are having a difficult time,” Nagle said.

According to Veterans Affairs, the grants funds may be used for rent payments, utility payments, security deposits and moving expenses.

Diakonia’s grant also helps veterans in Somerset and Wicomico counties.

“We have received Emergency Solutions grants from Wicomico County for a number of years,” Nagle said. “Those grants help people remain in their hous-

ing or to find housing and get connected to services.”

Diakonia has provided help to the homeless for more than 40 years.

Although this is the first year that Diakonia has been awarded this grant, it is the program’s third year. Last year, Veterans Affairs provided approximately $100 million to assist about 50,000 veterans and their families.

More information about Veterans Affairs homeless programs is available at www.va.gov/homeless. Details about the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program are online at www.va.gov/homeless.ssvf.asp.

Boardwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hampton House project moves closer to approval Developer gets special exemption from 32-foot front setback requirement ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Following the splitdecision approval of a setback exception two weeks ago by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Zoning Appeals, the redevelopment of the Hampton House property on the Boardwalk between Fourth and Fifth streets will come before the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Zoning Commission next week.

Developer and Sunsations chain owner Avi Sibony received a special exemption from the Boardwalk zoning districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32-foot front setback requirement, allowing for a 20-foot setback on the building he is proposing to replace the Hampton House, which is a temporary Sunsations location.

Despite previous proposals for the property that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve required larger exceptions or variances, the building footprint allowed for by the BZA will be a single-story, retail establishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current plan, what was presented to us, was Boardwalk-level retail with parking included underneath the building,â&#x20AC;? BZA Chairman Al Har-

rison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a single-story with a little bit higher façade than current, and I think that played into the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision.â&#x20AC;?

However, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the opposition was mobilized and vocal,â&#x20AC;? Harrison said.

The approval of the Sunsations project comes roughly two months after the denial by the BZA of the De Lazy Lizardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant project at the former Lambros Apartments building, adjacent to the south of the Hampton House.

In that case, the board heard considerable objection from neighbors on the block, particularly unit owners of the El Capitan Condominum, that De Lazy Lizardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed bar and restaurant on the boards would create an undue parking burden on their already-congested area.

They pointed to the lack of parking at Hooters one block away, which had previously received a 17-space waiver from the BZA, as a major culprit, and said they feared that their stretch of Boardwalk was becoming overburdened with a bar crowd that the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking and other amenities could not support.

Similar objections were heard regarding the Hampton House project, Harrison said.

However, the current case is a different matter because Sibony, unlike

De Lazy Lizard, is not seeking a variance for parking after having eliminated the option of having a bar in his new building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a 29 space parking credit because of the original use of the Hampton House,â&#x20AC;? explained city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difference between the 29 spaces he was already allowed and what he needed, he provided on-site with what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call a basement-type parking structure of 16 or 18 spaces.â&#x20AC;?

The town requires that all new establishments provide a certain number of parking spaces, based on the type of business and the square footage occupied. Many older facilities, however, have been granted a historical right by the city for their pre-regulatory lack of parking and are credited as not needing the number of parking spaces necessary for their grandfathered size and use.

Sibonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original project, Smith said, had included a new branch of the Taphouse Bar & Grill, which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve further increased the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking burden relative to the original hotel use. That proposal was revised, however, to eliminate the restaurant use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less dense now than the previous use, and less dense than if it were to be a restaurant,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He abandoned the restaurant, made it purely retail, and provided the difference in parking.â&#x20AC;?

The only non-conformity before the BZA, then, was the sub-standard set-

back for the new Sunsations building.

But both the Lambros and the Tidelands buildings adjacent to the Hampton House lot also have sub-standard setbacks, which changed the legal basis for the exemption, given that the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-conformity is not out of character with the neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It required a special exception rather than a variance, which is an easier burden on the applicant,â&#x20AC;? Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to our board attorney, the ball goes to the opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; court to prove that there would be significant adverse affect on their property, and there was effectively no testimony to that regard.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he had been trying to go up five stories on that sub-standard frontage, and it wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve impacted those folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; view, the vote mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been different.

But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it piece by piece, and starting with one level that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to see from the El Capitan.â&#x20AC;?

Although Sibonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project is no more onerous than the pre-existing adjacent buildings, the logic of allowing it for the sake of equal treatment does tie the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands as far as ever establishing the setback actually prescribed by code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a strong believer in the Boardwalk 32-foot setback, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I voted against the project,â&#x20AC;? said Harrison, who was one of two of the BZAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five members to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are developers who have conformed.

The developer of the El Capitan did conform to the 32-foot setback.â&#x20AC;?

City looking for information concerning inlet backup last week Officials trying to figure out how to manage lot in event of technical failure ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) An apparent case of literal crossed wires left a long line of cars – filled with less-than-pleased visitors – in the inlet parking lot last Wednesday night, as the city is trying to figure out how to manage the 1,200space facility in the event of technical failure.

According to the account of former City Councilman Joe Hall, who was in the backup, as well as reports from city staff, the lot became congested around 10 p.m. on the night of Wednesday, July 17, and took roughly two hours to clear.

The cause of the backup was compound. To begin with, the credit card system at the lot’s tollbooths lost its connection. This eliminated the use of one completely automated exit lane, where no attendant is needed. There are three main points of egress and attendants at the other lanes were manually taking down credit transactions for later entry.

“It looks like it was mainly the result of the fact that we lost connectivity on the credit card machines,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins.

“And we lost it right when everybody was packing up to go home for the night.”

Further, police reported two vehicle collisions in the lot, as well as a fight on Talbot Street that delayed officers responding to direct traffic.

The fourth lane, an emergency exit that runs parallel to the Boardwalk was eventually opened as well. At that time, the official word from the city was a 50-car backup, but Hall said that at its peak the line was nearly five times that.

A few times each year, according to Adkins, the lot becomes gridlocked and must be flushed by allowing customers to leave without paying. That move was

apparently not made last Wednesday.

“If anything was learned, it’s that maybe a firmer procedure should be put in place for that decision to be made,” said city Communications Manager Jessica Waters. “We certainly never want visitors to go through incidents like that.”

According to a message from city IT staff, the credit card connection failed because a cable had been wired in reverse. This made the system impossible to reboot after losing power, according to staff, because “when it came up, it created a bunch of switching loops that caused it to shut down several ports.”

Over the winter, the city hired a consultant to re-vamp the lot’s control system, which is done every five years or so. Apart from allowing easier automa-

tion, the revision also allowed entrance and exit patterns to be reversed, allowing customers to pay a flat fee on entry rather than paying on exit for the exact time they spent.

This feature was used earlier this month when the city decided to charge a $50 flat rate for Fourth of July parking, a move that went well technically, although many visitors seemed disgruntled with the price increase.

Adkins has contacted several of the customers from last Wednesday who had called City Hall to complain, asking for specific information on where exactly they were parked and when and where they came to a standstill.

“The best thing to do is to use the opportunity to figure out exactly what happened,” Adkins said. “I try to put myself in their shoes.”

Parsons poo-poos ‘ick factor’ of reinvigorated biosolids program City has found contractor to take processed sludge to farms across Bay Bridge ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Along with the usual number of satisfying things about an Ocean City vacation – such as the pristine beaches, calm sea breeze, or convenient public transportation – visitors can now add another feel-good to the list.

Your poo is going to a good cause, possibly in your own community.

As of this month, the city has successfully secured a contract with a private hauler to take its ‘class A’ biosolids to farms in southern Maryland and the lower Western Shore, instead of paying to dump them at the county landfill.

“They’re going to an agricultural use, which is a big deal to us,” said Jim Parsons, the city’s Deputy Director of Public Works. “We really don’t like to see these go to a landfill.”

Biosolids is an industry term for what is, in essence, sewage treatment by-products that have been pasteurized and alkalized to the point where they can be used as fertilizer without risk to soil or water quality, although some environmental groups like the Waterkeep Alliance have disputed this.

However, most health and sanitation issues related to the agricultural use of biosolids in past years have been the result of ‘class B’ biosolids, which are rated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency as being 95 percent pathogen-free. The biosolids produced by the city are EPA ‘class A,’ meaning that infectious agents have been reduced below detectable levels.

“It’s referred to by the Maryland Department of the Environment as PFRP

– process for the further reduction of pathogens,” Parsons said. “As a ‘class A’ biosolid, they’re essentially pathogenfree.”

Since its inception in 2004, the city’s biosolids program has been pitched as a win-win project: It reduces the volumetric burden of the city’s outsized sewage treatment capacity, brought on by the sheer number of summer visitors and the corresponding volume of waste they produce.

“I kind of feel like it’s a poetic justice,” Parsons said. “We produce so much sewer sludge because we have so many visitors in the summer. So now we treat the sludge and take it back to farms on the other side of the bay – where most of the visitors come from.”

At the same time, the biosolids project saves money in the long term. Despite costing millions to set up a ‘class A’ processing system, the town sees incremental savings in having the waste taken away by a distributor, who charges less to haul it since he is able to sell it to farmers.

“We’re seeing about a $65,000- to $75,000-savings this year using this contractor, versus hauling it all to the landfill,” Parsons said.

Because of the extreme level of regulatory scrutiny that goes into the city’s production of certified ‘class A’ biosolids, the product can be used by farmers quite freely, as opposed to less well-treated sludge.

“They can be distributed to anyone to be used,” said Jay Apperson of the Maryland Department of the Environment. “With other classes of biosolids, or if you’re a farmer that’s receiving them from another source, you’d need to get permits and do on-site monitoring.”

The material processed to make Ocean City’s biosolids is a controlled mixture of both ‘primary’ and ‘secSee CITY on Page 33A

City continues to produce rare ‘class A’ solids via heat, lyme ondary’ sewer sludge. Primary sludge consists of high-density material that settles, by gravity, at the bottom of wastewater clarification tanks.

The remaining liquid is then drained into a secondary tank, where microorganisms are introduced to literally eat the remaining contaminants in what is known as an ‘activated sludge process.’

This results in a secondary sludge, which consists of the waste generated by dead microorganisms.

“A lot of people think that this sludge is just the stuff they flush down the toilet,” Parsons said. “What this really is, is the bacteria that eat the stuff they flush down the toilet.”

Some of this material is re-introduced to start the next digestion process. The rest, mixed with some primary sludge, is first sent through presses to reduce its water content.

Lyme is then added, using augers heated to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, and the mixture is pasteurized at a minimum of 158 degrees for a at least 30 minutes.

But despite their high level of treatment making them hassle-free, the use of Ocean City’s biosolids does have a few things working against it. First, the Continued from Page 32A

town’s peak capacity for production is reached in the summer, just as farmers are winding down their spring fertilization process.

The city produces nearly 4,000 tons of biosolids per year, Parsons said, of which roughly half is generated from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The town’s product is 35 to 40 percent solid, a much better ratio of moisture than most others.

“You don’t want to pay to be hauling water,” Parsons said.

Second, because of the lime used to stabilize the biosolids and prevent further decomposition, the city’s product is highly alkaline. When the program first started, Parsons said the city was able to give the biosolids away to local sod and turf farmers, but only for a certain time.

“By definition, biosolids have very high pH,” Parsons said. “You put this stuff on your lawn for a period, and it loves it. Especially because we have naturally acidic [low pH] soils here. But they can’t use it in perpetuity because it’ll eventually drive the level too high.”

For the past several years, the city has been taking most of its biosolids to the county landfill, although it has been able to put some to use with local crop

farmers. But even that market has died down since a series of environmental lawsuits, such as the recently settled Hudson Farms case.

All biosolids, even if free of pathogens, contain a concentration of nutrients that can change water chemistry and affect the balance of marine environments if runoff is not controlled, environmental groups have said. Algae blooms are a particularly strong case.

“Being ‘class A’ meant more ten years ago than it does today,” Parsons said. “There’s so much concern now about nutrient runoff, and whether it’s ‘class A’ or not, it has a certain nutrient content. A lot of the regulations just got ratcheted down more and more to the point where we had a lot of participants who said ‘We’re going to wait and see how it shakes out before we take more biosolids.’”

Second annual Mary McMullen golf tournament, Aug. 2

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Young anglers fishing on the Reel Fantasy last Saturday during the ninth annual Ocean City Marlin Club’s Kid’s Classic bring their catches to Sunset Marina in West Ocean City to be weighed.

Kid’s Classic draws 360 junior anglers Marlin Club’s ninth annual tournament well attended; participants have fun time LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (July 26, 2013) The Ocean City Marlin Club’s ninth annual Kid’s Classic tournament last weekend was a huge success, as more than 360 junior anglers landed approximately 20 different species of fish.

“It was fantastic. We had a great turnout,” said Pat Svehla, who cochairs the Classic with Bill Regan and Annette Cropper. “The weather was not the greatest for offshore fishing; it was on the rough side. We didn’t expect the number we had because of the forecast.”

Svehla and Regan started the Classic after they looked at the annual tournament schedule and realized there was no event that recognized young anglers.

They wanted to create a tournament to introduce youngsters to fishing that would interest them at an early age.

The fishing event is open to junior anglers ages 19 and younger.

Every angler received an award for participating in the contest, held July 20-21. Catches were weighed at Sunset Marina. Those with the top three heaviest fish in each species category were presented with additional awards during Sunday’s carnival and banquet.

Awards were also up for grabs in the billfish release divisions, but no billfish were hooked this year.

Participants fished from aboard 65 boats. Anglers without access to a boat had the opportunity to fish from areas including the surf, Route 50 bridge, fishing piers in Ocean City and Assateague Island.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Wish-A-Fish Foundation.

Its mission is to “provide a little relief for a family from the daily stress of having a child with special needs, such as a life-threatening illness, mental or physical disability, by taking the entire family out for a day of fun and fishing on the water.”

The Judith M, Tortuga and Calico Jack took 88 special needs children– the most ever for the tournament, according to Svehla–and their families fishing, free of charge last Saturday.

The anglers and their families celebrated with a cookout at the Marlin

Club after fishing.

Through participant donations and tournament proceeds, Svehla said the club will donate approximately $5,000 to the Wish-A-Fish Foundation.

Ninth annual Marlin Club Kid’s Classic Results: • CROAKER: Karen Sue, Kennon Cropper, 2.2 pounds; The Stacey, Bradley and Brian Marks, 2.2 pounds; Shark Tooth, crew, 1.8 pounds; Karen Sue, Case Tilghman, 1.8 pounds • FLOUNDER: Ocean City Guide Service, crew, 4.4 pounds; Jezebel, crew, 3.8 pounds; Gretchen Ann, Ella Peters, 3.4 pounds • ROCKFISH: Myra HT, Cooper Clarke, 13.4 pounds; Ashy’s Boat, crew, 12.8 pounds • TOG: Karen Sue, Kennon Cropper, 3.2 pounds • SPOT: First Try, Walker Hastings, 1.6 pounds; Reel Fantasy, crew, 1.6 See CONTEST on Page 40

(July 26, 2013) Back in 1974, a young couple arrived in Ocean Pines and started a Summer Youth Program as a day camp for children.

Both school teachers, they were attracted to the community, spent their summers here bringing young counselors from their respective schools each summer and eventually producing three children of their own and becoming homeowners.

Formal recreation was thin on the ground at that time but the parents in place (mostly mothers and grandmothers) pitched in with activities to keep their children busy. Thus began also the Ocean Pines Hammerhead Swim Team and the SYP along with nature activities, arts and crafts and weekly trips to the beach, which were continued for years by devoted volunteers that grew into the programs that we have today.

Tim and Mary McMullen were that young couple who went on to careers in education, Tim as a history teacher and athletic director and Mary in special education as a dedicated teacher and avid athletics booster, both devoted to their professions and the people in them.

Mary died in 2012 after a lingering illness and Tim started a nonprofit organization in her name, the Mary Mac Foundation, to continue her work and raise money to benefit those in the fields that she loved.

The second annual Mary McMullen Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at Ocean Pines Country Club on Friday, Aug. 2 to benefit the Ocean Pines Recreation Department and special programs at the Ruth Parker Eason School and Severna Park High School’s special education department. Registration is $100 per player or $380 per foursome. There is a maximum of 120 players or 30 teams. The format is Captain’s Choice.

Registration begins at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at 12:45 p.m.

Dinner and awards will be at 5:30 p.m.

To play, contact Donald McMullen at 443-388-2941 or Paul McMullen at 443-742-8760.

Berlin tops Bethesda, Elkton, Conococheague in state tourney Local All-Star team hopes to bring Md. Little League championship title home LIZ LANE Intern (July 26, 2013) The Berlin Little League All-Stars 11-12-year-old team traveled to Arbutus, Md., last Saturday to compete for its third title in the Little League Maryland State Tournament.

The team was undefeated as of Wednesday.

Berlin, the District 8 champions, went up against Bethesda (District 7 winners) in its first tournament game and came out on top 4-3. Berlin won the coin toss and was declared the home team.

Starting pitcher Hayden Snelsire allowed Bethesda only one hit in the first inning. Ryan Duncan hit a triple down the right field line in the bottom of the first and was sent home on a single from Tristan McDonough to give Berlin a 1-0 lead last Saturday.

Bethesda remained hitless until the fourth inning. A dropped third strike and field error by Berlin gave Bethesda its first hit and the team tied the game 1-1.

The home team struck out in the bottom of the fourth.

In the top of the fifth, the umpires called catcher interference by Berlin on a third-strike pitch. A controversial ruling– according to Berlin’s coaching staff and supporters–to count a run from Bethesda gave the opposing team a 3-1 lead.

Duncan hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth and gave Berlin its second run. Pitcher Billy Wheatley held Bethesda scoreless in the top of the sixth for two-thirds of the inning until lightning delayed the game for two and a half hours.

The game was scheduled to resume the next day.

The Berlin All-Stars have a team meeting with Manager Cameron McDonough during their second game of the Little League Maryland State Tournament. The Berlin Major League team won 122 Saturday, July 21, over Elkton.

On Sunday morning, Wheatley walked and stole second and third in the bottom of the sixth. Matt Kinsey hit a game-winning two-run home run into center field.

On Sunday evening, Berlin took on Elkton (District 5 champions). Berlin held a 4-1 lead until the fourth inning when the team scored eight runs to pull ahead 12-2.

Wes Powell racked up three RBI’s with a home run in the third inning and a single in the fourth. Kinsey also hit a home run, Duncan had two singles and Wheatley a double.

Berlin remained on top for a 12-2 victory.

“We’ve been playing good baseball,” Manager Cameron McDonough said of the first two games. “We could always hit a little better but we’re facing good pitching and you can only do so much with that.”

The Berlin team competed in its third game of the championship Tuesday night against Conococheague (District 1 champions) and won 2-0.

“It was an absolutely fantastic game,” said McDonough. “I couldn’t be more proud.”

McDonough praised the pitching of Snelsire who had eight strikeouts during the close game. He surrendered his third hit in the top of the sixth and was re-

lieved by Tristan McDonough.

The second pitcher allowed one walk before striking out a Conococheague player to end the competition.

Earlier, second baseman Kevin Beck caught a Conococheague hit and threw the ball to third baseman Wheatley.

Wheatley chased the Conococheague runner and threw the ball to Berlin’s catcher, Kinsey, who tagged him out.

“It was a great defensive effort,” said McDonough. “It’s not often you get a shutout against that caliber of a team.”

With the win over Conococheague, Berlin was scheduled to play Brunswick (District 2) in the state championship finals on Thursday (After Ocean City Today press time).

If Berlin won, it would secure a state title in the double elimination tournament. If Brunswick came out on top, each team would have one loss and they would have to compete again today, Friday.

“We’ve played really tight games, but they know how to play tight and lowscoring games,” said McDonough. “We just have to concentrate now and bang it out. I’m confident they’ll be able to come out and take [the title].”

If Berlin wins, it will be its third Little League Maryland State title and the team will advance to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship in Bristol, Conn. Aug. 312.

“I’m happy they’ve gotten the opportunity to achieve the goal they’ve set for themselves and to stay on course,” said McDonough.

‘Heels & Reels’ Ladies Tournament next weekend

LIZ LANE Intern

(July 26, 2013) Female anglers of all ages will cast their lines Friday, Aug. 2, in the first fishing day of the Ocean City Marlin Club’s fifth annual “Heels & Reels” Ladies Tournament.

“We think of fishing tournaments as a group of guys out their and a cooler full of beer but this gets the ladies involved,” said Franky Pettolina, president of the Ocean City Marlin Club and co-director of the tournament with Amanda Shick. “It’s a big day on the water in the summer when they’re just having fun with it.”

Registration for the competition, open to both Marlin Club members and nonmembers, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1, at the Marlin Club, on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City.

(July 26, 2013) Today, Friday, is the first day of the fifth annual Branch Kreppel Memorial Blue Marlin Tournament, which continues through Sunday. The competition honors the late Glen Robert “Branch” Kreppel, a commercial diver and owner of Diver Services Company, who died in 2008 at the age of 44.

All proceeds from the tournament will be donated to Kreppel’s family. The Level JJ dolphin calcutta will benefit the Ocean City Reef Foundation.

Weigh-ins will take place at Sunset Marina from 4-8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and until 8 p.m. Sunday.

A blue marlin must weigh at least 400 pounds and measure no less than 105 inches to qualify for prize money. Teams will receive one point per pound for each qualifying blue marlin weighed.

Each one released will earn teams 250 points. Teams will earn 20 points for white marlin, sailfish and spearfish releases.

Awards will be presented to anglers who enter the meatfish division and catch the heaviest wahoo, tuna and dolphin.

place in the billfish release division will also be awarded prize money.

Pettolina said he is “hoping for good weather, turnout and fishing,” and also said that last year’s results were “absolutely spectacular.”

In 2012, according to catch reports, a total of 114 white marlin and one blue marlin were released during the competition.

Twenty-eight boats carried female anglers offshore for the competition, and a total of $29,250 was awarded to the winners.

“A couple boats probably didn’t even turn in their catch reports because there were boats with 10, 11 and 12 releases and they knew they wouldn’t win,” Pettolina said after the 2012 tournament.

End police commission and let chief do his job

Plenty of criticism has been directed at the mayor and City Council in the past few months, most of it involving spending, debt and the other usual targets.

City Hall also is caught up in a debate over crime, whether it’s up, down or the same and what ought to be done about it. But of all the suggestions and comments offered, none has addressed one of the greater issues facing professional law enforcement in Ocean City – the Police Commission.

The City Council’s decision to reinstitute the commission last year after its council predecessor had dissolved it was a serious mistake.

Simply put, there is no compelling reason for it to exist and it gets in the way of a new chief who, according to all reports, is just the person to get the department in shape to combat the situations that have spawned so much bad publicity.

As a highly regarded veteran of the Baltimore City Police Department, Chief Ross Buzzuro obviously knows more about policing than anyone in this community, elected or otherwise, and doesn’t need powertripping non-experts telling him how to do it.

Moreover, commission members are involving themselves in internal departmental matters, according to some officers, who are unhappy about the way the commission’s role is becoming more activist.

Unfortunately, police work is not like engineering or public works, where results can be calculated. It is an imprecise business on which everyone has an opinion, wherein lies the problem. Uninformed and politically inspired opinions provided by commission members just make Buzzuro’s job more difficult.

Ocean City only needs one police chief, not a committee of police chiefs. So, you want to fight crime? The first thing to do is to eliminate the commission and let Buzzuro get on with it.

Slashing bus hours hurts constituents

Editor, Following a brief prayer opening the Mayor and Council Meeting on July 15, 2013, invoking the need for compassion on the part of those officials in carrying out their responsibilities, a Public Hearing was conducted concerning the elimination of overnight bus service from November to April. The issue was based on “budget discussions” earlier this year in which the council directed staff to review the matter for council consideration. Note that the paid parking issue also evolved during “budget discussions” earlier this year and the council also directed the staff to review the matter for Council consideration.

Why does one issue require a Public Hearing while another issue does not? Unfortunately the bus service reduction was approved, unanimously, largely because actual users of the service did not appear in person at the hearing to protest or speak to the issue. Several non-riders did speak suggesting alternative approaches but the council was not persuaded.

Did the council consider that those who depend on the overnight service for their livelihood might actually be working at the time designated for the hearing? Do council members not recognize

that they are responsible to all their constituents, not just those who show up or speak at meetings and hearings? (The Staff, to its credit, did acknowledge that in fact there are approximately forty or so actual users of the service who will have to find other accommodations.) So much for compassion for our fellow humans.

Joe Moran Ocean City

J-walking still a problem in OC

Editor, I appreciated reading about the WALK SMART Campaign two weeks ago. Encouraging everyone to use Crosswalks via means of education such as the lighted signs and the newly painted “NO Pedestrian X-ing” on the sevenblock stretch of Ocean City is a good start for sure, but I believe that more needs to be done to even begin to put a dent in this problem for us here in Ocean City.

As a resident here year round, I continue to see people not using crosswalks — young, old, people with small children and handicapped persons. It pains me to say this, but it is only a matter of time before we experience other injuries and tragedies. I believe that very few individuals are choosing to abide by the painted “NO Pedestrian X-ing” signs and cross

wherever it is simply convenient for them to cross.

Perhaps one idea that might curtail some of the J-walking in Ocean City is if some wall barriers were to be placed in various parts of Coastal Highway.

This is a difficult problem to muster for sure. J-walking is something in many communities that is tolerated and not enforced and until there is a zero tolerance for J-walking, it will continue and we will experience additional injuries and losses of life.

Ocean City’s needs versus wants

Editor, Detroit has recently declared bankruptcy. Many other cities have followed suit. Is Ocean City leaning in that direction? Is our city living beyond its needs and beyond its means?

Our Ocean City government has reached a point where the City Council must make some essential and critical decisions regarding our city’s needs.

In order to meet the financial needs of our city, we feel that raising property, food, or room taxes is not advisable. Conversely, we think that our city needs to cut expenses.

The only thing that looks funnier than a little kid in big shorts, with those tiny legs poking out from all that empty space around them, is me in big shorts, with my little skinny legs poking out from all that empty space around them.

READERS’ FORUM Ask department heads to cut their budget 5-10 percent for the next fiscal year. It can be done by assessing the city’s needs, not its wants.

For example: Was getting the fireboat a need or a want? Is it a need or a want to have over 250 full- and part-time Ocean City Police Department employees? Is it a need or a want that some city employees have salaries, pension plans , health care, etc. exceeding those of neighboring cities? These are only examples of what could be addressed.

City Council, we ask you not to borrow money for things that the city cannot afford.

Take action now because we do not want to live in a bankrupt city.

OPINION 45A

As was pointed out to me recently, when I actually dared to wear shorts in public, having been advised many years ago to avoid that sort of thing out of consideration of others, I have legs that were made for long pants.

It is disconcerting, after all, to have someone come up to you, as you make your way around on a pair of pitiful stalks, and say, “Vitamin deficiency as a youth?”

Or, in referring to the fact that my ambulatory appendages also happen to be balder than Mount Rushmore, say, “Doesn’t that No!No! thing hurt?”

My standard reply is such cases is to suggest that my legs are hairless because I’m in training for a major bicycle race, a statement that absolutely no one buys, thus leading me to suggest that I was rendered hairless in that area as I waded into to save a basket of kittens in an industrial accident in remote India.

No one buys that either, but proceed to leave me alone rather than hear another one of those kinds of stories.

As it is, I prefer to think of my legs not so much as less than substantial, but as being exceptionally sinewy, which is to say they are mere spindles attached to an axle-like affair located just below my back

pockets.

In fact, my father, rest his cheerful soul, once observed that it might be best if I packed a wallet in each back pocket to keep them from overlapping.

It is also true that back then I was so thin that my mother, rest her soul as well, insisted that I drink milkshakes with raw eggs in them so I would gain weight and “wouldn’t have to stand in the same place twice to make one shadow.”

Of course, I have put on considerable weight since then, which, because all of it is from the waist up exclusively, only makes things worse.

Before, I was so skinny that my narrow stems more or less blended in with the rest of me. Now, they stand out like toothpicks in an olive.

So, why, you might ask, would I even consider wearing shorts in public? I felt I had reached a point in life where I didn’t care what other people thought.

I have since changed my mind. It happened as I was wearing shorts in the front yard, when a mother and her little boy happened by on the road in front of the house.

“Look, Mommy,” he chirped, “that man has rickets.”

JULY 26, 2013

Scooter industry throttled back by new laws and insurance cost Twenty scooter businesses last year dwindle to just eight operations in 2013 ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) Although business is reportedly down in many sectors throughout Ocean City this summer, a seemingly perfect pre-mix of increased regulation has put the muffler on the familiar two-stroke hum of the resort’s scooter rental industry.

The number of licensed rental locations for scooters has dropped from 20 last year to eight this year, according to city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith.

Despite the fact that the city imposed its own heavy zoning restrictions on scooter rental shops last year, the decisive factor in many rentals’ decision to pack up shop appears to be the financial burden imposed by the state.

“My impression is that this is less from our enforcement and more because of the state criteria,” Smith said.

A bevy of legislative revisions passed through the Maryland State Senate and General Assembly this spring edge the safety and legal requirements for scooters and mopeds closer to those placed on motorcycles.

Riders and passengers must now have helmets and eye protection.

Scooters and mopeds must also display a title sticker, which can be acquired through the Motor Vehicle

Administration and proves the origin and ownership of the machine. Scooters and mopeds must also carry a level of insurance coverage that mimics the level of financial protection for motorcycles.

The changes, according to the state, are intended to ensure rider safety and accountability. But in the low-cost, high-turnover world of rental scooters, the insurance requirement in particular has put a damper on the fiscal viability of the industry.

“The insurance for the operators was the nail in the coffin, because you’re talking about a very thin profit margin here,” said Ron Croker, owner of Waterways Marina. “I think scooters have fallen victim to a number of things, and I couldn’t tell you that it’s the economy by itself or the insurance

by itself. But each one has added a little burden to it.”

Scooters are particularly difficult to insure since their ability to cause property damage or personal injury far outstrips their actual cost. Annual premiums average around $700, more than the price of the machine itself in many cases.

Last year, Croker operated three locations with a fleet of 56 rental scooters. He’s now down to 30 scooters, at an annual insurance premium of nearly $17,000 for his fleet.

“We basically closed one of the locations and were in the process of closing the second one,” Croker said.

“We’re going to try opening that one back up in August to see how it does, if business has picked up. Two employees we let go because we closed a location, and we just sort of consolidated the other employees we had between the remaining locations.”

Much like a car rental, those renting scooters must be able to sign off most of the liability to their own insurance carrier. Even so, getting claims approved for damage caused by his renters to other vehicles has been arduous, Croker said.

Croker, along with several other scooter shop owners, was part of a push last year at the municipal level to have the Town of Ocean City begin enforcing its own requirements for safety and business practices. Controversially, however, the city ended up requiring rental shops to have a designated practice area for rider training, which in turn created a parking shortage that put many establishments’ business licenses in jeopardy via zoning restrictions.

“Scooters, I think, fell victim to the amount of bad publicity and the amount of time that the city and the state eventually put in to regulate them,” Croker said.

Frontier Town presents new High Ropes Adventure Park Two courses on Route 611 property feature a trapeze, swinging bridges, ziplines CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

PHOTO COURTESY HAROLD “DECK” DECKER

Ocean City Today’s Clara Vaughn tackles Frontier Town’s High Ropes Adventure Park’s Blue Course Monday.

(July 26, 2013) Ocean City thrill-seekers have a new to-do item to check off their lists now that Frontier Town, located off Route 611 in West Ocean City, opened its High Ropes Adventure Park.

The two ropes courses take visitors on a self-guided tour in the trees as they tackle 30 elements from swaying bridges to “hugging poles” and a trapeze, ending with a zip line ride back to the high ropes HQ. Guests must complete an easier course before taking on the more difficult ropes challenge.

“A lot of people do it for the sense of accomplishment,” Frontier Town’s High Ropes Manager Chris Richardson said.

“They see it not only as a physical challenge, but a mental challenge.”

That’s because the course is designed in the European style, meaning climbers must decide how to complete obstacles for themselves, Frontier Town’s General Manager Harold “Deck” Decker said.

“Once people do it, they get a much better feeling of accomplishment” than if they were guided through the course, he said.

That’s not to say that help isn’t on hand, though. Around 10 staff members patrol the grounds under the ropes course, ready to make “rescues” at any time a climber feels uncomfortable finishing his or her run.

The ropes course begins with a safety lesson from course facilitators, who outfit guests with a tight-locked harness. The harness features a smart belay system, meaning only one of its two karabiners that hold climbers to safety ropes can be opened at the same time.

Guests then take a test run on a miniature, ground-level obstacle before climbing to the first course.

The easier Green Course takes about 30 minutes and takes visitors 15-30 feet in the air across 15 obstacles. The more challenging Blue Course is around a 45 minute run reaching 52 feet at its highest.

It has harder elements that require some upper body strength, but an average, healthy person can complete both courses.

The loop ends with a series of zip lines See GUESTS on Page 2B

Jesus at the Beach Music and Ministry festival, July 29-31 Three-day event includes music, prayer, fellowship, praise and testimonials LIZ LANE ■ Intern (July 26, 2013) Jesus at the Beach Music and Ministry festival, a three-day event of music, praise and worship, along with a variety of other activities, is scheduled to begin Monday, July 29, in the resort.

“People come to enjoy the fellowship and make it part of their annual vacation,” said Gary Steger, co-organizer of the festival with Dick Sands. “It all just goes along with the family image and atmos-

phere of Ocean City.”

A prayer meeting at The Son’Spot Christian Fellowship Center, on Worcester Street in downtown Ocean City, is scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m., the night before the festival kicks off.

Each day will begin with praise, worship, dance, drama, testimonials, preaching, prayer and fellowship from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., July 29-31, at the convention center on 40th Street.

Each day will conclude with praise, one-on-one counseling sessions, outreach ministry and musical, dance and drama groups on the beach at North Division Street from 7-10 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair.

Parking is available at the convention center and attendees are encouraged to See BAPTISMon Page 3B

Emily Malinowski, 11, of Ocean Pines, center, participates in an interactive prayer Monday led

by Counselor Harry Mikula at the Mar-Lu-Ridge Summer Camp at St. Peter's Lutheran Church on 104th Street.

St. Peter’s presents inaugural Mar-Lu-Ridge summer camp Middle school-aged youth participate in activities this week at 104th St. church LIZ LANE Intern (July 26, 2013) St. Peter’s Lutheran Church welcomed middle school-aged children this week for the first session of the Mar-Lu-Ridge summer camp that concludes today, Friday. The second session begins Monday, July 29, and Rev. Gregg Knepp, senior pastor, said he is looking forward to it.

“We were looking for a way to reach out to the youth,” he said. “Right now, it’s an older congregation and we’re trying to increase the ministry opportunity to those youth.”

Eight children attended the opening day activities on Monday. They played games, sang songs, participated in a bible study and made crafts.

St. Peter’s also provides breakfast, lunch and a snack for the children.

Breakfast consists of cereal and bananas, cheese and crackers are provided for snack and lunch changes every day. The children ate ham sandwiches, pudding and chips and drank See SECOND on Page 4B

Those parking at the convention center in the evening are asked to leave a Jesus at the Beach flyer on the car dashboard.

“It’s fun interacting with everyone and the baptism is always exciting to see a young person or adult being baptized for the first time, going into the water and coming up new,” said Steger.

A baptism service is scheduled to follow Wednesday morning’s activities at approximately 1 p.m. on the beach across from the Continued from Page 1B

convention center. Those who want to be baptized should attend the Wednesday morning meeting or meet at the beach around 1 p.m. Steger said approximately 20 people are baptized each year.

Participants also have the opportunity to meet for prayer 30 minutes prior to each event at the convention center and on the beach.

The evening activities will be relocated to the convention center in the event of rain.

This is the first year St Peter’s has presented the camp and Knepp said he hopes it will grow.

“We were a little cautious in advertising it because we were afraid of being overwhelmed,” he said. “There are still opportunities to enroll in the camp, however. Eight children have signed up but we can accommodate about 16.”

Emily Malinowski, 11, lives in Ocean Pines and is a member of St Peter’s. Her mother, Julie, said the environment of the camp is what drew her to enroll her daughter.

“I knew [Emily] wasn’t quite ready for a sleep away camp,” she said.

“Here she can get that camp experience and not have to go away. To have a full day for a whole week, I’ve never heard of any church doing anything like that for free.”

Emily said on Monday she enjoyed her first day at the new camp.

“I really liked how the counselors played a lot of games,” she said. “We sang songs in the morning and they were interactive, which I liked. My favorite song was called ‘The Chicken and the Rooster.’”

Rev. Emily Leitzke, youth and family minister, helped Knepp organize the camp and said the activities and Continued from Page 3B

games change each day, but always relate back to the bible study from that day.

She said on Wednesdays the children go on a field trip. The campers were scheduled to visit the Landis Tree Farm, in Harbeson, Del. The

REV. GREGG KNEPP, SENIOR PASTOR, ST. PETER’S LUTHERAN CHURCH Concerning Mar-Lu-Ridge summer camp children are scheduled to visit the Trap Pond State Park, in Laurel, Del., July 31.

Two college-age counselors from the Mar-Lu-Ridge Camp and Retreat Center lead the group activities. This is Harry Mikula’s fourth year as a counselor.

“My favorite thing about the camp is that the kids come in and can be not that willing to share and are shy,” he said. “But by the end of the week,

they’re going crazy and just being kids. They’re not afraid to talk about their faith and ask questions when the kids they know may not all be interested yet.”

Mar-Lu-Ridge is a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is based in Jefferson, Md. The summer program Mobile Mar-Lu sends youth ministry counselors to community congregations to lead the week-long summer camp programs. Mikula said he has traveled to Westminster, Catonsville and Baltimore City to lead camps.

Knepp said the idea came from Community Lutheran Church, in Frankford, Del., who presented the camp in previous years to elementaryage children. Knepp said the two churches collaborated to expand the camp and received a grant from Lutheran Home and Hospital Foundation, Inc. that allowed them to offer free registration.

The pastor said he is looking forward to presenting the camp next year. When asked if she would return, Emily said, “Yes, I would say so.”

To register for the second session of the Mar-Lu-Ridge summer camp, which runs July 29 to Aug. 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., call St. Peter’s Luthern Church on 104th Street at 410-524-7474.

HAPPY HOUR

An Ocean City Tradition ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A longtime situation starts to move into a new phase. The question for the uncertain Lamb right now is whether to move with it. Facts emerge by midmonth to help you decide.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A talent for organizing your priorities allows the Divine Bovine to enjoy a busy social life and not miss a beat in meeting all workplace and/or family commitments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) What began as a dubious undertaking has now become one of your favorite projects. Your enthusiasm for it rallies support from other doubters-turned-believers.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Accept the help of friends to get you through an unexpectedly difficult situation.

There’ll be time enough later to investigate how all this could have happened so fast.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Change is a major factor for the Big Cat through midmonth. Be prepared to deal with it on a number of levels, including travel plans and workplace situations.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not like all the changes that have begun to take place around you.

But try to find something positive in at least some of them that you can put to good use.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family member’s unsettling experience could create more problems if it’s not handled with care and love. And who’s the best one to offer all that?

You, of course.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It might not be the right time for you to start a new venture. But it’s a good time to start gathering facts and figures so you’ll be set when the GO! sign lights up.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sagacious Sagittarius should have no trouble deciding between those who can and those who cannot be trusted to carry out a workplace commitment.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Surprise, surprise. It looks as if that one person you once thought you could never hope to win over to your side suddenly just might choose to join you.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might have to set aside your pride for now and accept a change that isn’t to your advantage. Cheer up.

There’ll be time later to turn this around in your favor.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your creative self emerges as dominant through midmonth. This should help you restart that writing or arts project you’ve left on the shelf for far too long.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of encouraging others by example to come out from the shadows and enjoy life to the fullest.

Clamming for a Cure Fish Tales Bar & Grill’s fourth annual “Clamming for a Cure” was held July 21, at the 22nd Street bayside restaurant. Sixteen co-ed teams of two participated. In a single-person kayak, one team member paddled from Bahia Marina’s boat ramp (next to Fish Tales) to the sandbar, where he or she had to find a live clam, show it to the judge for approval and then paddle back to tag his or her partner. The second person also had to paddle out to the sandbar, retrieve a live clam and then race back. Also during the day, was the second annual “OC’s Casting for a Cure,” hosted

by Saltwater Style, Bahia Marina and Fish Tales, where competitors casted a three-eighth ounce jig into a cluster of rings, which varied in size and points, floating in the water, in addition to a “Bait Net Casting” competition. Proceeds raised throughout the day—close to $9,200—will be donated to the American Cancer Society and earmarked for breast cancer research.

Rip currents account for 95 percent of water-related rescues in OC ON GUARD

NWS: Third leading cause of weather-related death KRISTIN JOSON Contributing Writer (July 26, 2013) The local newspapers, television and radio have been very supportive in helping us get our beach and water safety messages out to the public. This time of the year you will hear a lot about the dangers of rip currents in the local news. This often creates questions about the differences between a rip current and a rip tide and what makes them so dangerous.

You will see stories on local and national news about rip currents. Although they are often mistakenly referred to as “rip tides,” they are in fact a current. A current is simply a volume of water moving from one location to another. In contrast, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun and occur about every 12 hours.

What makes a rip current dangerous is that it moves water away from the beach and out to sea, where north or south currents just move water along the beach. As water flows away from the beach, in the rip, anything or anyone in that water will also be pulled steadily away from shore and into deeper water.

This can be a scary experience. It’s one thing to be moved along the coast with a current but being pulled away from shore is often not desired.

The action of the rip not only accounts for how unsuspecting bathers and people never intending to go out further than their waist are pulled into water that is over their heads. It also is responsible for creating the telltale signs that identify a rip current to the trained eye.

As waves break and stir up the sandy bottom and create foam this discolored water and foam are carried away from the shore clearly marking the location of a rip current.

PHOTO COURTESY KRISTIN JOSON

A beach patron is returned to safety after being caught in a rip current. An Ocean City Beach Patrol rescue water craft is on stand-by as back-up.

While the mechanics of a rip current are easily understood, they still remain the greatest surf zone hazard for anyone enjoying water activities at any beach and account for 95 percent of all waterrelated rescues in Ocean City. Rip currents are such a well-known natural hazard that the National Weather Service has identified them as the third leading cause of weather related death. If you question the seriousness of this threat then just take a moment to realize that not all states could even contribute to this statistic because not all states have ocean beaches. So being the third leading cause of weather-related death in the United States is quite significant.

To understand how to escape a rip current it is important to understand what causes rip currents. Rip currents occur when water that comes into the beach by wave action and wind, needs to

make it’s way back out. Because a sand bar runs the length of Ocean City, water that has come over the sand bar needs to make its way back out. Because wave action continues to bring water over the sandbar, the water has difficulty going out against the incoming flow.

Water will take the path of least resistance and find a lower spot along the sandbar to become the natural path for the flow of the water. As more water comes across the sandbar the volume in the trough (water trapped between the beach and sandbar) increases and this additional volume of water causes an increasingly greater volume of water to flow through this path. As water flows along this path it will move sand and creates a deep underwater channel from the shoreline through the sandbar. As waves break near the beach they cause a change in bathometry (the contour of the ocean

bottom), which causes a constant change in the sandbar and thus rip current locations and severity are constantly changing.

Rips can open up at any given time, sometimes referred to as “Flash Rips.”

Just last week I was out swimming and I could see little rips opening up where just minutes before there weren’t any in the area where I was swimming. It was a rough choppy day and the sandbar was constantly shifting causing rip currents to open and flow away from the shore.

Another factor that has an influence on the frequency and severity of rip current activity is water depth, which is directly related to changing tides. This is why rip current risk may be reported as moderate at 1 p.m. and become high at 4 p.m. The Ocean City Beach Patrol provides rip current assessments to NOAA See REMEMBER on Page 11B

Remember ‘RIP’: Relax, I need help and swim Parallel to shore ON GUARD three times each day. We have also worked directly with scientists to understand rip currents and how to better forecast and predict them.

Although rip currents do not pull a person under water as many people believe. It is the deep channel cut into the sandbar that gives the impression that a swimmer maybe pulled down. In reality what is happening is a non-swimmer who intended to remain only in waste deep water is being moved by the rip current into increasingly deeper water channel. Since they cannot swim, they try to stand on the bottom and as they move away from the shore the water becomes over their head and they are no longer able to keep their head above water.

Therefore, a person watching from the beach may think that what they believe they are seeing is a person being pulled under. When in fact, it is a nonswimmer who does not have the ability to keep their head above water. If this occurs while the beach patrol is on duty the lifeguard will simply assist the person back to safety. However if this occurs while lifeguards are not on duty, the outcome may be deadly.

You may believe that only non-swimmers drown as a result of rip currents while in reality many rip current drowning victims had moderate to good swimming ability. This brings up the question, why would a person who knows how to swim, drown? The answer is simple. Panic, fatigue and lack of ocean awareness all contribute to the outcome.

A rip current is very much like a treadmill in the ocean. As water is flowing away from the beach, a swimmer attempting to swim straight in will make little or no progress against this outgoing current or “ocean treadmill.” Since a rip current may flow faster than an Olympic swimmer can swim, swimming against this current only causes a person in this situation to become fatigued while getting no closer to the beach. Eventually they become so fatigued that they are no longer able to keep their head above water and once they slip below the water’s surface and are no longer able to get air, they become unconscious and only have moments before they become a statistic.

In contrast, a swimmer or someone with a flotation device can easily escape the grip of the rip. By nature, a typical rip current is not very wide usually 20 yards at most which means that a person who is being pulled out can be out of the rip after a few swimming strokes. Also, once the rip current flows through the cut in the sandbar the pull disperses and the current no longer continues to pull you away from shore. With these facts in mind if you find yourself being pulled away from shore, do not panic simply swim parallel to shore get off the “ocean Continued from Page 9B

treadmill” in the same manner you would get off the treadmill at the gym by simply moving to the side and once you no longer feel the pull of the rip, swim back into shore.

If you feel you are unable to swim across the rip relax, let it take you out to the sandbar and then swim back to shore. Whatever you do, never abandon a flotation device and always signal the lifeguard if you want their assistance. In most cases they will already be on their way to assist you back to safety. Even our lifeguards will not attempt to swim straight in against a rip current. They use their knowledge of the ocean to swim parallel to the beach until they are out of the rip current and then make their way back into safety with a victim in tow. If you can remember the word “RIP” then you can remember what to do to save your life, R = Relax and do not panic, I = I need help (wave your arm), P= Swim Parallel (to the side) to return to safety.

For additional information about rip currents and other water safety topics visit www.ococean.com/ocbp and follow the safety button. You can always approach any of our friendly lifeguards and ask them to talk to you about current conditions and information about rip currents.

Several artists featured at OC Center for the Arts in August Challenger, Lockhart, Simpson, Heubeck and McBride to display work (July 26, 2013) Take a break from the sun and visit the OC Center for the Arts during the month of August. Some of the finest artists on the Eastern Shore will be exhibiting their work throughout the month starting with the opening reception on Friday, Aug. 2 from 5-7 pm.

Featured artists in the gallery will be Kirk McBride, Lynne Lockhart and Ed Challenger. Artist David Simpson will be the artist in residence for the month of August. Featured in the galleria will be an Abstract Art Show with 2D painting and drawings by Art League of OC members and local artists with Michael

Morris as the judge.

The August reception is being sponsored by Glitter and Gold, one of the corporate sponsors of the Art League of OC. Representatives from Glitter and Gold will be on hand during the Aug. 2 reception to provide information about their art jewelry and goldsmithing services.

Ann Coates of Bishops Stock Fine Art, Craft and Wine of Snow Hill will provide the wine for the reception.

There will be samples of some of the wines that are featured in their new wine gallery. Bishops Stock is the premier gallery in Snow Hill and represents McBride, Lockhart and Challenger.

They also have a wine club and special tasting events. Bishops Stock is located at 202 West Green Street.

Michael Morris, also known by the

artist name Mijomor, is a native of Delaware and has been an art educator in Maryland since 1975. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibited in galleries across the Eastern Shore including Salisbury Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atrium Gallery, University of Maryland Eastern Shoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mosely Gallery, and Delaware State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Center/Gallery.

Morris is a complex artist with a dynamic illustrative style, exploring both day-to-day and surreal scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has a moment when light and shadow create something breathtaking to view,â&#x20AC;? he said.

McBride is constantly looking for those moments to inspire his oil paintings. He travels often and paints a variety of subjects from seascapes to mountains, from city scenes to landscapes, from foreign cafes to interiors of his own home and studio. The light and

shadow relationship being the unifying theme that runs throughout his work.

Winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best in Showâ&#x20AC;? at the first local art show he entered encouraged McBride to make painting a lifelong pursuit. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at it for more than 30 years now, first part-time in watercolors, and since the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, full-time in oils. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1974 and has studied with nationally recognized painter, and fellow surf industry veteran, Ken Auster.

McBride often paints plein air and uses those small plein air paintings, along with sketches and snapshots as studies for his larger studio pieces. He has been elected a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Signatureâ&#x20AC;? member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association. He has been juried into a number of plein air painting competitions and exhibitions where he has won awards. He has been invited to paint in the Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational four times, has been juried into Plein Air Easton three times and Paint Annapolis five times. His home and studio are on Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Shore.

Lockhart hails from the Eastern Shore of Maryland and was raised on her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm in Rhodesdale. For the past 15 years, Lockhart has lived in Berlin, just ten minutes from the Assateague Island National Seashore and herds of wild ponies which are often the subject of her work.

Her educational background includes a degree in biology from Salisbury University in Maryland and advanced study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Her study of anatomy has filled miles of canvas and motivates every aspect of her art.

Painting â&#x20AC;&#x153;en plein aire,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart has participated in many outdoor events.

Her landscapes often place human presence in the distance, beyond a natural world. Working from sketches, memory, photographs and life, her commissioned paintings portray horses, dogs, and prized cattle, as well as a myriad of still life in its every form.

This year she was accepted as a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists. She won the Kimbel Oelke Memorial Award for painting in 2006 from the American Academy of Equine Artists. Lockhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings have been selected to show in the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arts for the Parksâ&#x20AC;? exhibit in Jackson Hole, Wy. Adding to her credits, her paintings have been displayed in exhibits at the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mansion in Annapolis; the Wustum Museum in Racine, Wisconsin; the Ward Museum in Salisbury and the Academy Art Museum in Easton.

Challenger was educated at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, which is now University of the Arts.

After a career in commercial art as an art director and illustrator, he taught design and illustration at the York Academy of Arts, in York, Pa. He then became a self-employed sculptor, See OPENING on Page 13B

Opening reception scheduled Aug. 2 at 94th Street gallery exhibiting all over the east coast, working in steel, bronze and cold cast bronze.

His work has won numerous awards and was exhibited and sold at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Retail Sales Gallery.

Upon retirement, he began to paint full time and has been recognized as one of the region’s most versatile artists, working in oil, pastel, egg tempera and printmaking.

“I knew at a very early age that I was interested in art. There was never a question that it would be a big part of my life,” he said. “Art, for me, is being into the painting, whether it is representational or abstract. I feel that a distinct style or genre stifles my creativity, so I go in many directions in my work. The act of painting or printing and making something is a joy and maybe people looking at my works will experience the joy I felt in creating them.”

In 1999, Simpson, August artist in residence, reconnected with the art world at Salisbury University, where he achieved both a philosophy degree and a fine arts degree in painting. The subjects in the oil paintings he creates traditionally are focused on the human figure, landscapes, and seascapes.

Most recently, his paintings have focused on the elements of texture, color, and light via seascapes. In the spring of 2012, he graduated with Masters in the Art of Teaching from University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Simpson is now showing work locally at community art organizations, winning awards, and teaching private lessons. In addition, he recently became a board member for the Worcester County Arts Council where he currently holds the office of Treasurer.

Domestication of tomato debated by scientists and historians FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Mesoamerican civilization cultivated fruit for food DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (July 26, 2013) For all aficionados of sweet, juicy tomatoes, read on.

The domestication of the tomato, the wild version of which is native to western South America, continues to be debated by scientists and historians.

But the one thing they do agree on is that the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica, which extended from central Mexico down into Central America, cultivated them for food.

Although many people might as-

sume that tomatoes were always a part of the Italian diet, the first recorded instance of the tomato in Italy was in 1544, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That introduction, however, required some changes in how people ate.

Wealthy Europeans at that time used flatware made of pewter, which had a high lead content. Foods rich in acid, such as tomatoes, would cause the lead to leach into the food, resulting in lead poisoning that could be fatal. Some food theorists suggest this may be one reason so many people believed it was poisonous, that and being a member of the nightshade plant.

Poor people, meanwhile, used wooden plates and suffered no ill effects, many Italians of lesser means to use the tomato in many of their dishes.

In the 1800s, when there was a mass immigration from Europe to America, these recipes were introduced to this country. Pizza was one of them.

Pizza was a favorite food of the poor in Naples and, supposedly, a restaurateur there made a special pizza to celebrate the visit of King Umberto and Queen Margherita. The tomato pie was made with three ingredients that represented the colors of the new red, white and green Italian flag: tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil.

Legend has it that the king and queen wanted to sample the pizza of the poor and the queen so enjoyed this special version of it that it became known as pizza Margherita.

A tomato tart is a lighter, more summery version of this original pie. The crust in this recipe is puff pastry that is simple to use. Most grocery stores carry the product, which can be stored in the freezer up to six months. The fluffy dough can puff up to 8 times its original thickness and should be eaten within a few hours of baking.

What is a pizza without cheese? A whipped cheese would compliment the airy crust. Goat cheese is delicious and

at the same time allows the tomatoes to be the star.

The last element, of course, is the tomatoes. What kind to use is up to you, but an assortment adds to the taste and presentation. Heirloom yellows and reds work well together, or an abundance of cherry tomatoes is just as tasty.

Marinate the tomatoes in white balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, kosher salt and a few pinches of garlic powder.

Lets the pastry dough thaw per the instructions on the box. Remove one sheet of puff pastry. Lightly flour the surface before rolling it out. Roll out the dough slightly into a rectangular shape.

Using a knife, cut the edges for precise appearance. Make a raised edged around the tart to keep the tomatoes in place. Prick the puff pastry several times with a fork.

Spread the goat cheese in the center of shell, leaving the edges clean.

Strain the tomatoes and place evenly over the cheese without disturbing the edge. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on cooling rack.

Garnish with fresh sprigs of basil and coarse ground black pepper.

SECRET INGREDIENT: Chance Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking, loving might be a mistake but it’s worth making.

Second Wade-In and first ‘Race For Swimmable Bays,’ Saturday ACT and Assateague Coastkeeper promoting clean, swimmable waters (July 26, 213) Between July 25-28, Assateague Coastal Trust and Assateague Coastkeeper is promoting clean, swimmable waters as part of Swimmable Waters Weekend.

ACT invites the public to the Second Annual Isle of Wight Bay Wade-In on

Roman to perform in WOC, Aug. 1 (July 26, 2013) Former star of the hit weekly television show “Hee Haw,” Lulu Roman has announced that she will be making a concert appearance for a single show in West Ocean City Aug. 1.

Roman’s performing career has spanned more than 40 years with nearly 25 of those years spent as a singer and comedienne on the Hee Haw television show which is now in reruns on the RFD TV Network.

During a very difficult period in the middle of her career she started recording Gospel music. She convinced the show’s producers to allow her to introduce it’s audiences to Gospel music.

Roman went on to be nominated several times and ended up being a recipient of Gospel music’s highly coveted Dove Award. She currently is a member of the Country Gospel Music and Christian Music Halls of Fame. In addition to her own special brand of comedy, she’ll be performing songs from her new album release, “At Last” featuring 12 of her favorite pop standards including “I Will Always Love You,” “Summertime,” “You Don’t Know Me” as well as the title cut. The album was recently recorded with her good friends and country music stars Dolly Parton, T. Graham Brown, Linda Davis and Georgette Jones.

Roman will perform one show at The OC Jamboree in West Ocean City on Thursday, Aug. 1, at 2 p.m.

Advance reservations are strongly encouraged. Call The OC Jamboree box office at 410-213-7581 or visit www.ocjam.com for tickets. All seating is reserved, theater style and strictly limited on a first come basis. Tickets cost $35.

Saturday, July 27, at 10 a.m. at the Isle of Wight Nature Park, located off Route 90 at St. Martin Neck Road (between the bridges.)

A wade-in is an unscientific check of water clarity. Retired Maryland State Sen. Bernie Fowler initiated the first one 20 years ago to check water quality in Maryland’s bays and tributaries. The official wade-in measurement, known as the “Sneaker Index” measures how deep waders can go and still see their shoes.

In addition to the annual ‘Wade-In’, join ACT to ‘Blow it up for clean water’ with the inaugural “Race For Swimmable Bays,” where participants will bring their own inflatable water toy of choice and swim around a short course in the shallow Isle of Wight Bay while wearing or holding their blow up water toy. The

race will begin immediately following the Wade-In with a youth division and an adult division. There will be firstthrough third-place trophies for each division, handmade by local artist Patti Backer.

The Race and Wade-In will be at the canoe/kayak launch area near the entrance to Worcester County’s Isle of Wight Park, located off Route 90 on St. Martin Neck Road. Turn in to the park at the traffic light between the bridges.

Parking is available a short walk away.

Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful Worcester County Isle of Wight Nature Park’s picnic area, pier and trails.

Also, take sunscreen and old sneakers, or water sandals to protect feet.

Those unable to attend, visit other local waterway July 25-28 wade in, or swim in, and take a photo. Then post

those photos to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the hashtag #swimmablewater.

“We will also be taking action this summer to encourage Congress to protect our swimmable waters by ensuring there are adequate funds for monitoring swimming beaches. We want everyone to have a fun, safe summer in the water and our Race For Swimmable Bays is our way to raise awareness about water quality,” said Assateague COASTKEEPER Kathy Phillips. “Wade-ins around the state have become a popular way to lobby for water quality and bay restoration efforts. After all, everyone can relate to a desire for swimmable water.”

OC Chamber of Commerce seeks award nominations Recipients to be honored during annual Grand Ball, Sept. 6 at Clarion Hotel

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Ferrell Santacroce of self-run Beached Paws Pet Services, addresses her rescue dogs, from left, Oreo, Clubber and Nanners. Santacroce offers dog walking, grooming, boarding and other pet services with at-home visits in Ocean City, Ocean Pines and Berlin.

Beached Paws Pet Services here to assist owners Santacroce offers dog walking, at-home visits, boarding and grooming CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (July 26, 2013) “Welcome to the madness,” said the owner of Beached Paws Pet Services.

Ferrell Santacroce runs the business from her Berlin home and makes around 15 house calls on an average summer day, walking dogs, changing litter boxes and taxiing pets to the vet.

Back at her house, she has several dogs staying over for in-home boarding, plus a motley and affection crew of her own rescue dogs and cats.

“It’s kind of like being a fur-nanny,” the retired animals shelter vet said. “It’s fun. I just really enjoy helping people with their pets.”

Santacroce opened her business in November, when she moved here after retiring from a job in New York. Her goal is to help pet owners “so when people get

home, they can enjoy their pets,” she said.

To realize that, she does everything from taking her more active canine clients for runs on Assateague’s seashore to helping the elderly feed and care for their pets.

Her history in the shelter system helped spark Santacroce’s distinct approach to the pet service business. She saw many dogs come to shelters simply because they were energetic, not because they were bad pets, she said.

“If they (pet owners) knew that there was someone out there to give them resources, they might keep those pets,” Santacroce said. “It just evolved from that.”

To help vacationers enjoy their stay, she has started making house calls at Ocean City’s pet-friendly hotels, helping put both hotel owners and visitors at ease knowing dogs are getting attention throughout the day, she said.

Santacroce is working with the City Council to change Boardwalk laws barring pets. Animals are only allowed on the beach and Boardwalk between Oct. 1 and April 30 in Ocean City.

But, she said, Ocean City is much more pet-friendly than most people realize. Last week, a paddle boarding business welcomed her three-legged dog, Clubber, along for the ride, for example.

“Ocean City is about family, and to me, family includes pets,” she said. By offering a more homey boarding setting and in-home visits, she hopes to make it easier for vacationers to bring their pets on holiday.

“Animals are some of the best people I know,” she said.

Beached Paws offers pet services for dogs, cats, ferrts, rats and even fish — just ask. Services are available to pet owners in Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin and some nearby Delaware locations.

Beach trips for dogs costs between $15-$20 a day and litter box cleaning runs around $10 a day; Santacroce said prices vary.

Beached Paws Pet Services runs seven days a week at flexible hours. To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/BeachedPawsPetServices or contact Santacroce at beachedpaws@gmail.com or 443-3975427.

Steep govt. losses cut number of jobs gained to 4,300 in June Maryland unemployment rate crept to 7 percent for first time since last July ALEXANDER PYLES The Daily Record Newswire (July 26, 2013) Maryland continued to add jobs in June, but the state’s unemployment rate crept to 7 percent for the first time since last July.

Businesses added 6,200 jobs last month, according to preliminary data reported by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday, but steep government losses cut the total number of jobs gained to 4,300.

Despite the increase in unemployment — perhaps partially driven by more Marylanders entering the work force — state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Leonard J. Howie III said Maryland had “recovered nearly all of the jobs lost during the recession,” though that statistic does not take population growth into account.

In April 2008, before Maryland began shedding jobs, the unemployment rate was 3.3 percent. Many of the jobs re-

gained have also not mirrored the jobs lost; hiring in the construction and manufacturing industries has remained weak, while areas such as health care have seen robust growth.

To counter that, Gov. Martin O’Malley proposed and the General Assembly approved legislation this year to create the Employment Advancement Right Now program, a joint effort between the state labor department and the Department of Business and Economic Development, which is meant to retrain people to make them eligible for the jobs available now.

The leisure and hospitality sector added 3,200 jobs last month, while the education, health care and social assistance sector added 1,600 jobs. The professional and business services sector grew by 400 jobs, according to federal labor data.

The BLS also revised Maryland’s job gain in May to 6,500, increasing that month’s growth from the original estimate of 4,600 jobs.

Employment has increased in Maryland in all but one month in 2013, when 4,900 jobs were lost. In a statement, O’Malley said “99 percent” of jobs lost during the recession had been resorted and called that “a significant step forward in our job creation and recovery efforts.”

Increasing number of potential buyers turning tomargin loans REAL ESTATE REPORT

These loans help secure financing in a pinch LAUREN BUNTING Contributing Writer (July 26, 2013) The natural sequence in real estate for existing homeowners, such as move-up buyers or buyers looking to downsize, goes something like this: list your home, sell your home, then buy your new home. But life isn’t always so perfect is it? An increasing number of potential buyers are turning to “margin loans” to help secure financing in a pinch.

You may be familiar with the term “bridge loan,” which is a short-term temporary loan used to secure a purchase until longer financing is arranged. With bridge loans, the existing home’s equity is taken into consideration as collateral with the intention that the bridge loan will be repaid with the proceeds from the sale of the old home.

A homeowner with a bridge loan may be forced to pay two mortgages until the old home sells, and bridge loans carry higher interest rates with additional fees that add to their cost.

But a margin loan is different. Margin loans are backed by a borrower’s investments. Brokerage firms typically permit loan amounts of up to 50 percent of the portfolio’s value at the time the loan is originated.

A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that “investors embraced margin loans with a passion.” The Journal further reported that the margin debt was driven to $384.3 billion in New York Stock Exchange member

firms this past April. The previous record in margin debt was $381.4 billion, set in July 2007, just before the market downturn.

There are some financial advantages to margin loans over other short-term financing options. Borrowers pay no closing costs, no property appraisal is required, there are no prepayment penalties, and no requirement to pay monthly interest payments.

It was also reported that margin loans may have tax benefits that include not having to pay capital gains taxes and any interest that may exist on a margin loan is generally tax deductible.

There is what brokers call a “maintenance margin,” where the borrower may be subject to a “margin call”. If the portfolio’s value drops below the given maintenance margin threshold, the borrower would have to deposit funds to bring his or her securities back to the proper percentages. Or, the brokerage firm would sell assets to bring the portfolio back in balance.

It is suggested that borrowers not borrow up to margin limits and keep in mind that borrowers still have to qualify in the areas of income, net worth, credit check and monthly debt payments.

And, while margin loans do not have traditional closing costs, brokerage firms do charge fees and commissions, so check with your financial planner or firm to get a full representation of the costs involved.

ALISSA GULIN The Daily Record Newswire (July 26, 2013) About 5,000 small businesses in Howard County will soon receive a letter from state Comptroller Peter Franchot urging them to apply for tax credits created by the Affordable Care Act to help offset the cost of providing health insurance to employees.

Several of those business owners said they appreciate the outreach and welcome any information they can get about a law many still find confusing.

Approximately 60 people turned out for a forum Monday at Howard County Community College where state officials and health care advocates explained eligibility requirements for the tax credit.

“I think this strategy is great,” said M. Jason Brooke, CEO and general counsel for Vasoptic Medical Inc., a Columbia-based medical diagnostic startup. “I wouldn’t have known about See EMPLOYERS on Page 5C

BUSINESS 5C

Employers with less than 25 full-time workers eligible for credit the tax credit if I hadn’t been here today — I mean, hopefully I’ll receive the letter in the mail. But I think it’s fantastic to get the word out and help us understand how we can provide care for our employees. I think [the letter] will absolutely work. I think a lot of people will recognize that there’s an opportunity to save on taxes, which is really helpful.”

Businesses (and nonprofits) can receive credits of as much as 35 percent of eligible premium expenses for tax years 2010-2013. Next year, the maximum tax credit increases to 50 percent. Small employers can receive the credit if they employ fewer than 25 full-time workers, pay an average wage of less than $50,000 and cover at least 50 percent of the employee-only premium cost (the credit varies based on the number of employees and the average wage).

The comptroller’s letter is only being sent to eligible businesses.

“You know, this is not something the Comptroller’s Office typically does, but we’re interested in it because … no one else has access to the information about these small businesses’ eligibility,” Franchot said after the forum. “So we can confidentially communicate with them and inform that they should take a look at this.”

Officials said if this first mailing is a success, they plan to send similar letters Continued from Page 4C

to the rest of the estimated 66,000 small businesses in Maryland that would be eligible for tax credits. But first, they wanted to test the strategy in Howard County, said Vincent DeMarco, president of the Maryland Health Care for All Coalition.

There are about 18,000 uninsured Howard residents.

Howard County is home to a growing number of startup companies, so there’s a captive audience for information about employee management, Brooke said. “[My two employees and I] are selfinsured, but I would like to create an employer-based program,” Brooke said.

“If Howard County is generating a lot of small businesses like myself, knowing about this tax credit will be helpful in planning for that when we’re starting off.”

Theo Bell, managing partner of Washington, D.C-based Epic Consulting, said he attended Monday’s forum for that very reason. His firm, which works with real estate companies, just started out, but Bell plans to hire his first five to seven employees next year.

He said he “absolutely” would take advantage of the health insurance tax credit, but needs to learn more about it.

“You definitely want to strategize in your hires and make sure you understand that if you gain an employee, it

changes the game,” he said. “You definitely have to look at every hire, at everything you do as far as your growth strategy.”

Bell said he’s heard a lot of business owners say they’re wrestling with the “employer mandate” — a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires companies with 50 or more full-time employees to provide health insurance.

Bell said the provision is a disincentive to hire more workers.

“Most of the business community feels that this is going to impact business negatively,” he said. “So I wanted to come out and learn if that’s going to be the case. …I’m still on the fence. I need to figure out how it’s all going to work and get some of my questions answered.”
